I saw the first computer on Nov 22/05 with this problem.
Had a couple more since then.
Removing ContextPlus fixed them all. (It also screwes up dialup internet connections, BTW.)
All the other fixes (PNP Service, Enum permissions, Adaware, Spyware, Ewido, Norton Scan) were useless.
Thanks Dragonreese!

I have worked on this problem of a corrupted Device Manager, missing Network Connections, slow response times from Windows Explorer and Windows reactivation BS for about 10 hours and this has finally fixed the issue. I previously scanned the system with Spybot S&D, Lavasoft AdAware and Webroot Spy Sweeper but nothing picked up on Apropos.
