DCOM Error - Outlook Express (IE6)

[Lee]

Hi,

Every time I launch OE6, it hangs for about 20 seconds, and then works ok,
but in the event log I get:

The server {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541} did not register with DCOM
within the required timeout.


I have Windows Messenger disabled, and I have deleted the CLSID key data
from the registry, but this hasn't fixed it....

Any ideas?

Hi Lee,

Set the proper registry edits to rule out Messenger.

This version eliminates the startup delay in Outlook Express when the
Contacts Pane is used

Should you decide to undo this "fix", an undo script is available here.
Follow the directions, as above.
