Hello Everyone,

While troubleshooting another problem, they never seem to end. :) I noticed that the 'DCOM Server Process Launcher' service is in a 'Starting' mode or state, not 'Started' but 'Starting, meaning it never really gets started.

The service 'Startup Type' is set to 'Automatic'

When I try to manually start the service I get the message:

Could not start the DCOM Server Process Launcher service on Local Computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I have set this service to 'Disabled', rebooted, reset service to 'Automatic', as well as 'Manual', and tried to start the service, I get the same error.

What I would like to know is,

1. How important is this service, do I NEED it running?

2. If so, how do I make it start?

I am going to continue searching the web, but if anyone knows, please fire away.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
