I followed BlackViper's advice and disabled unesscary services. I have been getting this error in the EventLog system.. it's about DCOM! The error msg is

Quote

DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. " attempting to start the service usnsvc with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{736F8997-C651-4C45-BC43-8AF8369890F1}

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft....link/events.asp.

Which service is that I need to start?


Thanks!

Try the Help and Support service; set it to automatic, then reboot. What happened when the error occured?

[JohnDemolition]

the help and support service is close to useless. that's why i have it disabled

as for the service that needs to be started it's called "DCOM Server Process Launcher"

[Parvez]

Yeah, i agree the help and support service is useless. I have it disabled too.

I already have DCOM Server Process Launcher set to Automatic and plus it's started. Maybe some other service?

Nothing happend. I sometimes check the EventLog and I saw this error from DCOM. The service keeps on trying to turn on but can't.. so there were a lots of same error from DCOM.

This is what happens when people play with their services. Leave them alone, as the defaults.

Under services.msc is where you get the information.

Thanks!

By any chance were you trying to use Messenger when this error occurred? The error stated that it was trying to start the usnsvc service which is used for Messenger. I would set that to manual so that it can turn itself on only when needed.

[Parvez]

Ah, no wonder why I kept getting this error. That service was set to disabled now it's set to Manual.
Thanks a lot krit <3
