I tried the regsvr32 commands you suggested but it didn't
fix the problem.

In response to your questions:
-I am expecting a password prompt
-Https is not being used
-There is no proxy
-Http level is 1.1

I should also note that failed logon attempts are being
logged on the web server but when the user tries to logon
and receives the 401.2 error, a failed logon attempt is
not recorded. It seems as if there is a problem during the
NTLM negotiation process.

Any other ideas?

Thanks
