DCOM Configuration warning

Hi Rizwan,

I had to make a new user profile anyway to test something else, but made a Local User account. When I check the problem in this account, it is exactly the same. What will happen if I chose Yes instead of No?

Sorry for the lack of detail.

If I go to Component Services/Computers/My Computer/DCOM Config and click on it, I get the message:.

The CLSID {820D63D5-8CFF-46DE-86AF-4997DEDD6DB5}, item "C:\Windows\system32\igfxEM.exe" and title TheEventManager Class has the named value AppID, but is not recorded under \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AppID. Do you wish to record it? Yes/No

Is the correct answer Yes or No?

(In passing, is there any easy way of copying complicated messages like this so as to include them in messages here?)
