Windows 7: Working until it updates

I've recently installed Windows 7 a few times, trying to solve this problem. On initial install all is fine, but after a while things stop working. ipconfig. ping, installing software, Manage computer, open attachents from outlook 2007 etc. all stop working after a while.

Any ideas? I have the latest updates installed and even tried stopping updates, it still happens. works great for a while and then certain functions stop. A few guys at work are having this problem and others not... ??

Is this a clean install or and upgrade??

You say other people at work.. So this happens to Pc's on the network?

Or is it happening to you at home..

Laptop or desktop? what video? any raid? homegroup or workgroup?

Other people with problems are also running HP's (NC8430) on the same DOMAIN (However 2 others also with HP on Domain does not have the problem, they have Compaq 8710W's and run the 64 bit version.
