COM+ broken

[Guest Marcel]

I since a couple of weeks, I have the problem that COM+ seems to be

broekn on my machine (Windows XP professional SP3). The symptoms are

that many features no longer work, for instance MSI based installs,

windows update, defragmenting a disk, many features in computer

management ...

In cases where there is an error log from an application, it always

results in error 80040154

Today, I used the tool dcomcnfg.exe and open the "component services"

branch and select "Computers", it crashes and leaves the following

error in the application event log:

 

<<<<<<<<<<

The run-time environment has detected an inconsistency in its internal

state. This indicates a potential instability in the process that

could be caused by the custom components running in the COM+

application, the components they make use of, or other factors. Error

in f:\xpsp3\com\com1x\src\comsvcs\package\cpackage.cpp(1184), hr =

8000ffff: InitEventCollector failed

>>>>>>>>>>>

 

This is followed by this next message:

 

<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Application image dump failed.
