Receiving error message in event log

[robinrowe]

Does anyone know what could be causing this? This is occurring on a Windows 2003 Server with SP2 installed (running SQL 2000).

The error message we are getting in the logs is:

Event ID: 0xc0001201 (4609) the COM+ event system detected a bad return code during its internal processing. HRESULT was 80070003 from line 333 of d:\nt\com\complus\src\events\tier2\eventsystem2.cpp. Please contact Microsoft Product Support Services to report this error.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

Any assistance you can provide would be most appreciated!

Thanks everyone.

Did you start by entering

the COM+ event system detected a bad return code during its internal processing.

In Google. There are a few hits u can investigate

yes, which has led me here because I was finding entries about sound card drivers being the culprit... and video cards... etc. which are not the problem.

I found one article from Technet that said there wasn't enough detail provided in the error but there was a verification process to follow to ensure that COM+ was running okay.
