Hello, wonder if anyone can help.

Recently my PC has been displaying an error message and not performing as
well as previously. I get this message, and wonder if anyone can provide a
solution?:

"Unable to initialize internal Com library. Error code: 0x800401f3"

Thank you in anticipation

Addendum - I gave you the System Configuration Utility instructions for
Vista by mistake. Here they are for XP:

Start>Run>msconfig [enter]

This brings up the System Configuration Utility. Look on the Startup tab and
find the probable culprit. Uncheck the box next to its name, Apply and OK
out. You don't need to restart immediately, but the next time you do you'll
get a dialog saying you've used the Utility. Just tick the box that says in
effect, "don't bother me about this again".

Important - Do not use the System Configuration Utility to stop processes.
Instead, use Start>Run>services.msc [enter] and do not stop any services
unless you really, really know what you're doing.

The rest of what I wrote is applicable to XP as well as Vista.
