Okay it's pretty complicated. I have a total of three separate computers involved here and two mobile phones. At the start, one ran win7homeprem. The other ran windows-ultim. and the last had win8pro installed leaving with a win7/8 choice at start up. the common link is my home network and router. NONE of my computers should be configuered as servers, I don't even media share between devices on my home or any other network. I've tried three different routers. my netgear log was being disabled so I replaced it with a wrt54g flashed with dd-wrt. A machines are exhibiting signs of creating a VM during boot before login. It's been a challenge to gain full admin control and once gained it can't be retained. The machines at times will display the same "themes" or slightly altered appearance. for example the start button on task bar changes from square to round logo. windows 8 theme appeared on my win7 machine once.
