ASP / COM problem

[agentwalker]

Well been working on an application involving asp and COM's which has been working fine. On Friday I was messing around with a print service in .Net and was having problems with it and eventually got it in a state where the service for it was stuck in a 'starting' state.

To fix this I tried a few things like uninstalling .net 1.1 (which it uses) and reinstalling etc. reinstalling MSDTC etc which didn't seem to fix the problem.

Later when I gave up and went back to the ASP / COM web application its no longer working all i'm getting is an error message with the following.

MyUtility (0x8007000E)
System Error &H80004005 (-2147467259).
/test/again.asp, line 5

Any ideas what i've screwed up ? been going through a few sites and found the odd thing but nothing relating to ASP/COM issues on this. the only ones that do mention this don't finish with a solution

just a little bit more info:

It seems the problem is related to COM's which attempt to make a database connection. I've tried creating a simple COM i.e. one which returns a string and that works ok.

Also Can confirm that all the COM's and ASP are fine so its got to be something else that i've messed up.

Any ideas?

Did you do anything to ADO?

Managed to sort it today at work. In the end it was the Security Config for MSDTC which wasn't allowing transactions.
