What is DCOM

[westy1]

Looking through event viewer I have alot of errors relating to DCOM.
"THE SERVER{80EE4901-33A8-11D1-A213-0080C88593A5} DID NOT REGISTER WITH DCOM WITHIN THE REQUIRED TIMEOUT"

Although it does not seem to be causing any problems it just annoys me to see a long list of errors pointing to the same thing.

DCOM
The Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM) is a protocol that enables software components to communicate directly over a network in a reliable, secure, and efficient manner. Previously called "Network OLE," DCOM is designed for use across multiple network transports, including Internet protocols such as HTTP. DCOM is based on the Open Software Foundation's DCE-RPC spec and will work with both Java applets and ActiveX® components through its use of the Component Object Model (COM).
