Good News Everyone!!!!
There is now a hotfix for this problem. (It took me 5 hours of phone
time with Microsoft and a week and a half to get it fixed, so I don't
want people trying a billion things when most likely the hotfix will
cure them). The hotfix is KB942903. Google it, maybe someone has it
downloadable. If you have the MGA stuff installed, you should be able
to find it on microsoft's site.
Best of luck!
