How do I disable DCOM support in Vista?
by Luda on February 10, 2010Q: I am currently running Vista. For the past month I have been getting a DCOM related error, where my computer just restarts on its own. I have tried many ways to fix it and came very very close.
One method that looks promising is the following:
- Start -> Run -> type “services.msc” without quotations and hit enter
- Select “DCOM Server Process Launcher”
- Right Click -> Properties
- Change Startup type to Disabled
- Click on Recovery Tab
- Change all failures to Take No Action
Except when I come to the part where I have to pick “take no action”, the drop down menu is disabled and I’m unable to interact with it.
Is there a way around this?
Thank you.

I wouldn’t suggest anything until I have a better understanding of the exact problem you’re having. Can you provide the exact error message you’re getting?
