Since creating a clean install of W2K Pro, both before and
after SP4ing it, I find my system quickly degenerates to
inoperability.

I begin to receive svchost.exe errors, RPC restarts
itself, then I begin to get EventSystem ID 4097 ever 11
minutes, then 2 in one minute, etc. Forever.

The description is such:
The COM+ Event System has detected a bad return code
during its internal processing. HRESULT was 80070005 from
line 42 of .\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact Microsoft
Product Support Services to report this error.

Needless to say I cannot get through on any of their wave
lengths.

In the meanwhile, I lose abilities to cut, past, copy,
click on event log instances, links don't click, nor can I
shift+click, the Add/Remove programs doesn't populate, the
start button fails, (I can currently right click), the
Task Manager won't open, etc. I could go on, but let it
suffice to say that basic Windows functionality is gone.

Has anyone experienced this error or this situation?

TIA!
Christine
