The event viewer (system) displays many error msgs. as follows:

Description:
Unable to start a DCOM Server: {FB7199AB-79BF-11D2-8D94-0000F875C541}. The error:
"The system cannot find the path specified. "
Happened while starting this command:
C:\PROGRA~1\AIM\aim.exe -Embedding
These error msgs. began occuring after I removed a program downloaded by my Grandson called AIM. I removed it using the add/remove listing in the Control Panel and also did a search and removed a couple of AIM related entries in the Registry.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions in finding the source of these error msgs.

i would look in the task manager and see if you see "aim" running, in "processes".. also, i would use regedit and look to see if there is a regkey for "aim" in hkey_local machine/software/microsoft/windows/current version/run, (intended to cause "aim" to run at startup), and delete it, if there is one.. (i do not mean to delete "run"!) also, go to start/all programs/startup, and see if "aim" is running from there.. if there is an entry there for "aim", delete it..
you could try using grc's "decombobulator".. also, i would look at your firewall rules and, if you see "aim" in the firewall's rules, i would delete the entry..
