DCOM error -- is this a hardware problem?

[Guest]

Please forgive the cross-posting: I've been trying to figure out
this problem, which happens several times an hour; there have been
only a few responses, so I'm trying to find somebody, anybody, who can
help:

I have identified the error that is causing my Windows Explorer
to flash, black out, shut down, restart etc:
I found about a zillion entries for this error in the Events -
Services log. Please help!

Error --- DCOM --- None --- 10005 --- Owner --- Computer
DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is
disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. "
attempting to start the service ImapiService with arguments "-Service"
in order to run the server: {520CCA63-51A5-11D3-9144-00104BA11C5E}

Go to the Control Panel, Open the Administrative Tools, double-click services,
right-click IMAPI, choose automatic, click start.
