DCOM Error

[nh]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Just the last couple of days my machine has developed a problem. Several
things start it, one being selecting print in Outlook Express. The print
window will eventually appear after 2 - 3 minutes and then everything works
OK. Another is trying to load up System Restore, again it takes several
minutes. (Incidently this started after a restore) When I look in the
event log the following appears each time

The server {0C0A3666-30C9-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout.

Any suggestions as to what this is and how to sort it?

Just tried this but nothing changed. Printing in anything else, Word etc.
is not affected. I'm baffled

Thanks anyway

Any more help would be greatly appreciated
