Is your Windows updated?
Which is your firewall?

Yeah, as Tech told you, it seems to be a problem with your security updates…

Hey there. Good links. Here’s one I got given on the Forum when just starting out on the DCOM trail.

If SP2 is not installed then it could be a pirated copy of XP so best advice is to purchase a legal copy of XP.

SP2 loaded with XP. The PC running SP3. Im on auto updates, validated, have genuine advantage with Windows. Currently running Windows Defender. But may need to recap some of my steps last day or so.

Im leaving the matter open at the moment. When I come I may be on different PC but all the above will still apply on that PC as well. I will need to configure a network shield but for now PCs each on standalone.
