I fixed it.  This workstation has a hp 1012 plugged into it.  It was running the HP Toolkit software.  We have a group policy that prevents access to drive C:.  Applications work, however, they cannot save files to drive C:.  We also redirect their My Documents folder to their home directory on the server.  This voids users accidentally saving files to their local hard disk and then deleting them.  Anyway, The HP Toolkit software didn't like this configuration.  Once I uninstalled it the DCOM errors went away and the user quit receiving the 'End Now' window that was being prompted when they logged off.  

thanks.
