Hi Ramesh,
DCOM Server Process Launcher is added with SP2. Looks like DcomLaunch not
running causes all kinds of problems.
Add one more to Snakefoot's list:
The Windows Firewall service in Windows XP Service Pack 2, in Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition, in Windows Server 2003 SP1, and in x64-based
versions of Windows Server 2003 cannot start if the DCOM Process Launcher
Service is disabled

I do not have SP2 and have all the DCOM and Com+ crap disabled.
COM+ Event System service Disabled
COM+ System Application service Disabled
System Event Notification service Disabled

DCOM Windows XP Do You Need It?
[[Virtually no-one needs it, wants it or uses it! ]]
http://www.updatexp.com/dcom-windows-xp.html
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
Change the EnableDCOM string value to N.
Might be bad advice if someone has SP2.
