Within 30 seconds of logging into a user account, the following error events are logged:

Event ID: 7022 The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service hung on starting.
Event ID: 7022 The Diagnostic Service Host service hung on starting.

Within two minutes, the following information events are logged:

Event ID: 7036 The Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service entered the running state.
Event ID: 7036 The Diagnostic Service Host service entered the running state.

I have searched and not found a cause for this. Anyone here have nay ideas? I have changed WIA to delayed startup but it made no difference.
 
Oh I found many places on the internet discussing similiar situations but not a solution. Microsoft even has a couple of possible of fixes but they are for XP but not Vista. Both of these services first fail to start then they start just fine.
