I just bought a new computer this week (HP), and only once have I been able
to get it to shut down properly. Whenever I tell it to shut down, the
computer just stops doing anything. I can move my pointer around and access
the task manager through ctrl-alt-del. . . using the shut down menu from
there gets me one step further (to the shutting down screen), but it still
won't turn off without me doing it manually.
I checked the system events and found the same error occurring whenever I
would try to shut down. Here's the main information:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10010
Description:
The server {clsid value here} did not register with DCOM within the required
timeout.
I clicked the Microsoft link for more information, and was told to find the
clsid value in the registry, find the value data, and navigate to the program
on my computer to find the vendor that I need to contact.
Here's the problem:
All the value data gives me is CAutoUpdate Class 1.0. I can't find any
information on this anywhere.
Is this the AutoUpdate service for Windows? If so, would disabling the
service in msconfig fix the problem? If I'm completely wrong, does anyone
have any clue as to how I can fix this?
