DCOM issue?

Topic

New Reply

I was poking around the Event Viewer and I came across an error log entry I am way unfamiliar with.

“The server {AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout”

I read some other forums, but they are all in the Windows Server and I am just using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit systems. So not being sure about this log entry and what it is; here I am to see what’s going on with my system.

Basically my set up at home is several computers; all on the same workgroup name connecting to my Netgear router. Some folders are shared between them if that matters.

Can anyone help me resolve this issue? Thanks

This also appears in all my other Windows 7 machines. Same error, maybe I have a setting wrong or something to cause this?

Search for the string {AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5} in the Registry.

Okay, did the search and nothing comes up in the registry.

Update – my bad, missed a symbol. Did the search and it found about 10 entries in the registry. Some are also subkeys.

What are those entries? They should point you to what is failing.

On most of the entires there are two;
(default) points to Thumbnail Cache Out of Proc Server, another one says Thumbnail Cache Class Factory Out of Proc Server
Dll Surrogate points to nothing
AppID points to the same string; {AB8902B4-09CA-4BB6-B78D-A8F59079A8D5}

I also checked with my other systems and they are the same in all of them; what I found in the registry that is.
