Various parts of Windows Vista functionality is broken

Tags: Microsoft, Windows, Vista Business, Same problem with RTM version & SP1/RC
In the last week I've had some serious trouble with Vista.  I'm getting event id 7031 & 7034 error messages with at least 10 services I've counted so far that unexpectedly terminate.  I applied SP1 Release Candidate v.668 to see if it would alleviate any of these problems, but it hasn't.  Some of the visible symptoms:

Network and Sharing Center:  No devices shown only Unknown / No such interface supported
System Control Panel:  Under System Section, Rating is unavailable (there is no option to rate my system anymore), processor and Memory are "Not Available"

Services that crash:
SSDP Discovery
Host Process for Windows Services
Windows Time Service
Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol Service
Network Store Interface Service
Workstation
Function Discovery Resource Publication Service
COM+ Event System Service
Network List Service
UPnP Device Host Service
WebClient Service
SL UI Notification Service
Terminal Service
WinHTTP Web Proxy Auto-Discovery Service

Event ID 1048:  LSM, unknown error, "No such interface supported"

Network Diagnose and repair doesn't fix anything either.
Ran sfc /scannow and nothing was fixed.

It is almost as if permissions or security isn't right or working.  Sort of like when you run a service as a user but have a bad password.  I feel like whatever is wrong lies with Vista security-- never have I seen a problem like this with Windows 2000, XP or 2003.  Any ideas?

The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!
