DCOM Error

[Guest]

This what I see when I go to My Computer > Manage > Event View System:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10005
Date: 6/18/2004
Time: 8:45:52 AM
User: CPQ28877506514\Test User
Computer: CPQ28877506514
Description:
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 BITS with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{4991D34B-80A1-4291-83B6-3328366B9097}

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I think that this is related to problems with the taskbar, desktop, and MSN Explorer (I use MSN Internet Access) freezing up whenever I connect to the internet. The only way I can prevent the freezeup is to keep the start menu open while moving the mouse as I connect to the internet.

I think that this may have something to do with files the system deleted when the system scanned itself since these freezeups didn't seem to happen prior to performing a scan (I can activate this scan also use "chkdsk /f" in the Command Prompt).

So anyone have any suggestions on how I would resolve this error? I get it every time I log in (I also sign in to the internet every time I log in).

I ignore all DCOM errors. I also have Background Intelligent Transfer
Service
disabled.

[[attempting to start the service BITS with arguments]]
Background Intelligent Transfer Service
Uses idle network bandwidth to transfer data.

[[In theory this should be a useful service, especially since it can
continue an interrupted download due to a logoff or shutdown situation.
Unfortunately, it can also be prone to trouble when the resumption occurs.]]

[[Recommended State Disabled, if you want manually to control when Windows

[[This service is used to transfer asynchronous data via http1.1 servers.
According to Microsoft's site, Windows Update uses this "feature." It
"continues" a download if you log off or shutdown the system (that is, when
you log back in). The problem with that is, I do not like having this
"feature" running all of the time. Even though I have found no side effects
as to this being disabled, you may require this service for some MSN
Explorer, Windows Messenger, Windows Media Player or future .NET functions.
Take note: Manual update via Windows Update web site requires Cryptographic
Services to be running.]]
