DCOM error - Event ID 10006

[Deep23]

I am getting this error on my computer. I researched a lot for the cause of this problem, but all in vain. This error is happening on my Windows XP computer. I get the following error message in the System log of the Event Viewer:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10006

Do anyone have any idea about this or any solution for this issue?

Error CAUSE: This problem may occur if :
1. A program with the class ID (CLSID) that appears in the message tries to start the COM component by using the DCOM infrastructure. However, the user does not have the required permissions to start the COM component.
2. The User account does not have the correct permissions.


To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods:

Grant the user permissions to start the COM component

4. Highlight Framework service, right-click it, and select Properties.
5. Select the Security tab.

Windows may be the culprit. Update Windows.

Other than that, could be the problem of power supply also. One of the member in this forum had the similar issues. He found his power supply faulty. Look here for more information: DCOM Error

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

To assign permissions

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