I am having problems using emails from Sharepoint since installing SP2 in Windows 2003. Get Dcom error in event log.
Description: The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID {AppGUID} to the user User_Name SID User_SID. This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.
Have tried amending registry settings but this hasnt helped.

Yes this is an error I get on the server (copied and pasted) - but not sure if it is this that is causing the problems with emails or not.

Have now found answer to problem with email but changed 2 settings at same time so not sure which worked !!
1. Service - 'Alerter' was disabled so started this
2. Sharepoint Timer was set to logon with Network Local Admin - changed this to Network Services
