DCOM DCOM got error "%1053" attempting to start the service ImapiService

[Alex Massoud]

Hi all,

I am getting the following error:
"DCOM got error "%1053" attempting to start the service
ImapiService with arguments "-Service" in order to run
the server: {520CCA63-51A5-11D3-9 144-00104BA11C5E}
"
The error happens when I switch from one user to another
under window XP. The error freezes the computer and the
only way to get it operating again is to switch off the
power and start again. The error is intermittent. The
error only happens when I switch users. The first log-in
attempt is allways successfull.
Anyone has an idea why I get this error and how to fix
it ?

Thanks for your help.
Alex
