    i tried it but still couldnt disable dcomlauncher.. when i perform the local dcom test i get the below error :


    RPC System Fault

    Please Contact GRC to Resolve This Problem

    This should never happen:

    This system's DCOM testing returned an unexpected result which the DCOMbobulator does not know how to explain. Please contact our offices by eMail at: [email protected] and we'll work with you to figure out what's going on, and to improve the DCOMbobulator at the same time.

    Thank you !

    i went ahead to disable dcom using the dcombobulator software but when i restarted my comp the service is still running
