Alos have began experiencing problems with Internet Explorer such that hyperlinks to local intranet pages do not work. When clicking on a some (not all) hyperlinks nothing happens. No errors and no page opens. I'm concerned that this may be related to the DCOM problems I am having. Fortunately , I've moved all clients to my backup terminal server.

Normally ole registration will re-create a missing key, provided users have appropriate acces permissions to HKCR. However on win2k if you don't select NT 4.0 compatibility mode during the server build, then access rights could be a problem. Anyway if the key is missing: Log on to one of your "good" (no broken excel ole) servers, run regedit and export the key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{0C0A3666-30C9-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064} To a reg file. Now run the regfile on the broken server. Make sure access permissions are okay (use regedt32 > security > permissions.

The first is obvious, when the file isn't where the OLE registration entry is pointing, or access is denied to the file. Another reason can be that the user hasn't got appropriate right access to the subkey under CLSID used for the OLE registration process. Check the security/owner of the key Hkey_classes_root\CLSID\{0C0A3666-30C9-11D0-8F20-00805F2CD064}. Some DCOM errors, not yours unfortunately, can also be cured as per Q187146.

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.
