Thanks Richard, I've tried removing all the WAN/LAN references but that didn't make a difference. I've now run chkdsk and it didn't find any problems either.
So far I've stopped a few services from running at start up and have been running smoothly for the last hour or so. Fingers crossed that one of these services is the problem. Frank.

We would appreciate the opportunity to work with them.
