| 200619 | 2003-12-15 02:28:00 | I have Win98 on C drive, C Partition and Win2000 Prof on E Partition, I swop usage and files between them freely. On Sunday morning I was surprised to find I could no longer get onto any site requiring a log in with my Win2000sys. Hotmail, Mail.Com and woe of woes PressF1 remained inaccessable. I would put in my name and password then hit Go but nothing happened! This continued all day and eventually I found the Event log and this was in it. Event Type: Warning Event Source: EventSystem Event Category: Event Service Event ID: 4106 Date: 12/14/2003 Time: 9:40:51 AM User: N/A Computer: HOME-L8NU7L6OB4 Description: The COM+ Event System detected a corrupt IEventSubscription object. The COM+ Event System has removed object ID {F5515E10-EDEC-419F-9735-D61A3DD3C16A}. The subscriber will no longer be notified when the event occurs.

It seems that in some way or another the 128Bit encryption programs have been compromised. I have run System File Check and everything I can think of and it looks like a re-install. Damn. The Win98SE sys is working fine. Does anyone know whether this means that all my programs that I have put on and the Hot Fixes from MS etc will all be lost or will they be retained? Will My Docs be lost? I will backup some things but how far should I go with this. Is there a repair cabability in Win2000 Prof? Any advice gratefully accepted. Regards Rob |

| 200620 | 2003-12-15 03:38:00 | Don't know about 2000, but with W98se you can boot from a floppy, put your CD in and type (cd drive number)setup.exe and this will repair without even changing desktop settings etc. Should not over write later version of files. Bye |

| 200621 | 2003-12-15 04:00:00 | Had a read here (support.microsoft.com) yet? Seems that ServicePack4 solves a few of these problems. |

| 200623 | 2003-12-15 04:12:00 | Chris. From my reading, 98 is OK - 2000 is the problem. Bye |

| 200624 | 2003-12-15 04:29:00 | Yes it is 2000 that is the problem and I already have Service Pack 4 Regards Rob |

| 200625 | 2003-12-15 04:56:00 | Chris, from the postings, it mentions COM+ , which is only available with 2K and XP. Just another way of picking up things. Maybe a reload of SP4, before attempting a complete system reload. Theoretically, COM+ does very little and is installed for "future" use, as far as I am aware. I don't think it is tied up with the IE encryption. Maybe someone else can enlighten us. |
