Event System Error Message (Windows XP Home Edition)

[Guest]

I would be grateful if you could give advise regarding the following Event
System error:

EventSystem

The COM Event System detected a bad return code during its internal
processing. HRESULT was C0000005 from line 44 of
d:\qxp_slp\com\com1x\src\event s\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact
Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.

Additional Information

Event Type: Error

Event Source: EventSystem

Event Category: (50)

Event ID: 4609

My PC is also very slow and takes a long time to boot up - could this be the
cause?

Many thanks

Thank you for the link - however, I am not too sure from this what is causing
the problem. Is this error message harmful - and what should I do next?

Thanks again
