I found that all the "extras" that my Creative Soundblaster Audigy2 ZS card put into the registry for startup was causing my problems. By eliminating them, the problem has vanished and I can still use my sound card extras by starting them up as I need them instead of letting them all load at system start.

Thank you so much for your quick reply
