Have you been using any third party utilities like Diskeeper?

Do you have a pagefile on your C partition?

Select Start, Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services and right
click on DCOM Server Process Launcher and select Properties. The StartUp
type should be Automatic.Is it?

cCleaner (freeware) which does a more thorough job than Disk CleanUp.
Disk CleanUp has to be run for each user profile, whereas cCleaner only
needs to be run once.

When using cCleaner think twice before checking Autocomplete Form
History under Internet Explorer. You do get a warning but this one has
irritating consequences. You may need to restore your system's
recollection of passwords after use so keep a record off computer so
that they can easily be re-entered.

One Care is a poor product. Run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
1.38 -freeware (if you upgrade you pay).
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

Run Malwarebytes' and turn off your current anti-virus
before you do to avoid a conflict. Disregard the invitation on the web
site regarding the Registry Optimiser -a Registry Optimiser is not a
helpful utility.

free space is one
issue that affects
defrag.

another is low virtual
memory.

and perhaps mis
configured anti virals
that won't let the utility
launch.
