Well..... maybe, but I don't think it would do what I need because the problem occurs during the bootup process, and regmon runs only after bootup is complete.

Hmmm. Try this. Try holding down the "shift" key as you boot the computer (after it starts loading Windows).

This skips all the stuff piled into the startup group. Perhaps there's something extra being loaded when the computer starts causing the bug. If the bug goes away with the "shift" key held down, then we can start a process of elimintation to find out which crapplet is the cause of the problem.
