Well, it's nice to know I'm not alone.
I've tried the various MS KB articles/suggestions - re-installed IE6/OE6 and removed MSN 4.7 - none of these solved the problem.
I've scratched my head till it's raw.
Anyway, at moment it appears to be somehow related to IE, and how I connect... if I manually dial using the "connect to...." - the DCOM time occurs immediately (okay, it takes 10 minutes before I can do anything else), if I dial in by opening IE, then my problem doesn't start until I either 1) open another app (like outlook, or eudora) or 2) I attempt to disconnect... in which case, I wait about 10 minutes before I can go back to normal operation(s).
All other aspects of the system run smoothly.
I'll try guest 3's suggestion of booting into safe-mode w/out networking.. see if that does anything fer me.
I dunno about the rest of you, but it'd be real nice if this error would tell us "what" application is the culprit -- in terms that one could actually understand... class id's are not plain text.
