Awesome!!  I spent 8 hours solid trying to work this out, this fix did it for me.  Thanks for posting :D

(at least on Windows 6.2) reboot not required, sufficient to stop http service then restart it and all dependant services. Refer to microsoft KB820129 for more info on http parameters. Cause is usually size of kerberos ticket (for admins belonging to large number of groups)
