Windows restarts because "DCOM Server Process Launcher service terminated unexpectedly"

Asked by a2hIT in Anti-Virus, Windows XP Operating System, Spyware / Ad Blockers

Tags: dcom, server, process, launcher, terminated

Dell Precision 340 running XP Pro and Norton Anti-Virus Corporate Edition.  Installed PCTools SpyDoctor (full version) two days ago.  Got rid of my spyware problems (I think) but now whenever I turn on the machine about a minute or so after windows loads i get a timed shutdown message that says:

"Windows must now restart because DCOM Server Process Launcher service terminated unexpectedly. " The shutdown is initiated by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

This occurs in safe mode as well.  If I can manage to log in to windows quick enough, I can stop the shutdown by issuing "shutdown /a" from the command line.  Once that is done I don't seem to have any problems. . .

Thanks in advance for your help. . .Start Free Trial
