I get errors similar to this about every 10 days,
I found a Microsoft tech forum reply but like the original poster, the settings they say to change in the Component services console are grey out for this component.
The CLISD is different every time, I don't know if this is relevant.

Here is the most recent log entry, the previous one was on the 20th !

I know this KB article refers to Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, but the workaround steps tell you how to suppress those errors:

The workaround applies to WinXP/Server 2003. Under Windows 7, step 1 would be click start, type 'component services', hit enter.

If options are still greyed out, try right-clicking the Component Services item on the Start menu and choosing 'run as administrator'.

If the CLSID is different every time you can find which Component Services item it refers to by searching for that value in the registry or by Googling it (or Binging it if you work for Microsoft).

Thanks Nelviticus
The service 'IIS WAMREG' does not exist in my componet services list.
Neither does the most recent CLSID in my event log? It did yesterday.

Some of the others are still there.
If I run componet servives as administrator, I still cannot edit the proterties of the services that give the error.
Some posts suggest getting permissions for these services via the reg editor, if I try to do that I get a permission denied error.

BTW My OS is W7(64) Home Premium, service pack 1 installed.
I have an administrator account.

These events started at a particular date I am going to see what had just been installed, It may have been Microsoft Visio.

Just a reminder:

A user with administrative rights is not the same as the Administrator on Windows 7.

This means that some System properties are not available to that User...

to enable this hidden administrator account follow these simple steps:

1. Click Start, and then type cmd[(b] in the Start Search box.
2. In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
3. When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
4. At the command prompt, type net user administrator /active:yes, and then press ENTER.
5. Type net user administrator <Password>, and then press ENTER.
Note: Please replace the <Password> tag with your passwords which you want to set to administrator account.
6. Type exit, and then press ENTER.
7. Log off the current user account.

Source: Microsoft

PS: Step 5 can be skipped, if you disable the Administrative account once you are done with the need for it.

to disable the account again just follow the above in opening an CMD prompt with administrative priviledges, and type net user administrator /active:no instead.

Only ask questions with yes/no answers if you want "yes" or "no"
 
Cheers for that Ben useful to know, didn't work though, still greyed out.
