I have a problem. When I click Component Services, My Computer does not
shows up. Instead I get the following error: "The server catalog version is
not supported. The catalog is either newer or older than this application
and a common version for communication does not exist."

Is there a solution or a tool I can usr to fix this? I have install Windows
SP4 and all available hotfixes.

Best regards
 
Hi Zissop,
Please see the following Knowledge Base article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;329134

This problem (as noted in the article) may occur due to a corrupted Registry
value, created by a third-party application installation. Simply removing
the corrupted value should resolve the issue.

An example of one such corrupted Registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\{00020420-0000-0000-C000-000000000
046}\InprocServer32

Name: InprocServer32

Value:
FjDfA$`tP?g704uZ=)psGlobal_System_OLEAUT32>M5KDYSUnf(HA*L[xeX)y[~]FjDfA$`tP?
g7004uZ=)psGlobal_System_OLEAUT32>M5KDYSUnf(HA*L[xeX)y[~]
