Server Error - need help to fix ASAP

My server has become sick. It has begun developing a problem which causes it
to freeze up and stop logins from client workstations. The only apparent way
to fix this is with frequent reboots. I am tearing my hair out about this.

The problem is that it starts out with a this event ID:
Event 10016 Source: DCOM
"The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch
permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{9DA0E106-86CE-11D1-8699-00C04FB98036} to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID
(S-1-5-18). This security permission can be modified using the Component
Services administrative tool."

When I attempt to fix the error by following the instructions that Windows
provides:

"Explanation
A program, the Clsid displayed in the message, tried to start the DCOM
server by using the DCOM infrastructure. Based on the security ID (SID), this
user does not have the necessary permissions to start the DCOM server.

User Action
Verify that the user has the appropriate permissions to start the DCOM
server.

To assign permissions

Using Regedit, navigate to the following registry value
HKCR\Clsid\clsid value\localserver32
The clsid value is the information displayed in the message.
In the right pane, double-click Default. The Edit String dialog box is
displayed. Leave this dialog box open.
Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Component Services.
In the Component Services snap-in, expand Computers, expand My Computer, and
double-click DCOM Config.
In the right pane, locate the program by using its friendly name.
Right-click the program name, and then select Properties.
On the Security tab, in the Launch and Activation Permissions group box,
select Customize, and then click Edit.

I am unable to identify from the Registry Entry the CLSID of the program
causing the problem. Is there any means to translate the CLSID into English?

Further, and MUCH MORE ALARMINGLY, when I attempt to use Regedit, to look at
the Registry to identify the CLSID of the problem program, I suddenly invoke
this error:

Event 333 Source: Application Popup
"An I/O operation initiated by the Registry failed unrecoverably. The
Registry could not read in, or write out, or flush, one of the files that
contain the system's image of the Registry."

Which in turn, produces this error:

Event 2020 Source: Srv
"The server was unable to allocate from the system paged pool because the
pool was empty."

The SBS server help system cannot supply any information about how to fix
the first error and the second one, I've applied the hotfixes suggested but
it doesn't seem to have done anything to prevent it (if they can).

Anybody got any ideas?
