TScale cannot help the problem that you are experiencing, but since our developers are DCOM experts I asked them if they could help. Here is their response: MDM.EXE is the Machine Debug Manager. It is installed as when you install the Microsoft Script Debugg explicitly or as a side effect of installing any of the following: Microsoft Office 2000 Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Internet Explorer The error you are seeing is because mdm.exe got deleted or de-installed. Running Detect and Repair from Office 2000, will reinstall mdm.exe. If you do not want script debugging enabled, in IE choose Tools|Internet Options. On the Advanced tab under Browsing choose "Disable Script Debugging". This will require a reboot to take effect. I hope that this is helpful, and if so, has generated some good will. If you would like to learn more about TScale and how it can help you, please visit us at www.kevsoft.com.

Recently however all my thin client users on only one of my terminal servers are experiencing errors like the following: Unable to start a DCOM Server: {0C0A3666-30C9-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064} as /. The error: "The system cannot find the file specified. " Happened while starting this command: C:\WINNT\System32\MDM.EXE -Embedding I have considered long file names vs.8.3 filenames to no avail. Also made some attempts at DCOMCNFG with no success. That leaves me once again to look to you guys for some insight as I have reached the end of my rope on this one. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. g GE Industrial Systems CPQP ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Robert Sanders IT / Programmer/Systems Support 381 Broadway, Ft.
