msmsgs.exe DCOM error

[Guest]

Hello Everyone,

Not sure if this is the right forum but I have been receiving the following error message sporadically in Even Viewer:

The server {F3A614DC-ABE0-11D2-A441-00C04F795683} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

This registry key relates to msmsgs.exe

Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how to stop it?

Kind regards and thanks in advance,
Mame du Bois
