    I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem of mine. Within the last week or so Windows had been randomly freezing up on me and I'd have to manually turn it off. Eventually it got to a point where it would freeze up as soon as I'd log into my user account. I thought maybe if I shut it down restarted in safe mode and then shut down from there it might fix the problem, but it didn't. I checked my event log and I have multiple DCOM 10005 errors and Service Control Manager 7001 and Service Control Manager 7026 error messages. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.

    Thanks for the help. I disabled my DCOM with a program from the first link, but I'm still getting a SCM 7026 error. The last two links weren't for Windows XP. Also do you think this is the cause for my comp freezing up in normal mode? What happens exactly when I boot up normally is. I sign in, and sometimes my taskbar will appear normally, but sometimes it'll show up with the start button and system tray blanked out. I'll be able to move my cursor around until I try clicking on something or right click and try to choose an option. Once I do that it just completely freezes up on me.

    What about System Restore? Have you tried that? Just pick a file dated before your computer began messing-up.

    yeah I tried a system restore to 2 weeks before it started messing up, and all it did was change my background to a default background.

    You've already attempted the safe mode route, so I'm not sure what to suggest next.

    Faced with a similar unsolvable problem on my own computer, I would purchase a new hard drive (I saw an add Sunday for 160GB drives going for
    $49.00 after rebates!), load the operating system into the new drive, set-up the old drive as a slave and scan it for viruses and adware using as many antivirus and antispyware programs as I could get my hands on. After scanning, I'd see what files and data could be salvaged and transferred to the new drive. Even after all the scanning, I think I'd copy stuff in stages and run the computer a couple of days before copying more stuff. You might be able to isolate the problem down to a group of files.

    Just for kicks, you might replace the CMOS battery. One of my computers acted weird on startup for a long time before someone suggested I replace the battery. It cured all the problems.

    Good luck!
