Re: how to repair com+ componet service on xp pro ?

DCOM Enable or Disable

Edit the Registry
1. Start Registry Editor.
2. Locate the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE
3. Change the EnableDCOM string value to Y to enable. Or Change the
EnableDCOM string value to N to disable.
4. Restart the operating system for the changes to take effect.

Use DCOMCNFG.EXE
1. Run Dcomcnfg.exe.
2. If you are running Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, perform these
additional steps:
a. Click the Component Services node under Console Root.
b. Open the Computers folder.
c. For the local computer, right-click My Computer, and then click
Properties.
d. For a remote computer, right-click Computers folder, point to New,
and then click Computer.
e. Type the computer name.
f. Right-click the computer name, and then click Properties.

3. Click the Default Properties tab.
4. Click to select the Enable Distributed COM on this Computer check box.
5. If you want to set more properties for the computer, click Apply to
enable (or disable) DCOM. Otherwise, click OK to apply the changes and
quit Dcomcnfg.exe.
6. Restart the operating system for the changes to take effect.

The following registry string value is used to enable or disable DCOM on all
operating systems:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OLE\EnableDCOM

If you change this value to Y, you enable DCOM after you restart the
operating system.

If you change this value to N, you disable DCOM after you restart the
operating system.

In news:1145534032.919409.4470@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
jmiguelsf@xxxxxxxxxxx <jmiguelsf@xxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
In the component services window, when I try to expand Component
Services\Computers the window closes abruptly. Something is going wrong
everytime I try to click the folder "Computers".

Is it possible to repair this service ?

Thanks!
