Hi Gerry, thanks for the reply.

I've already subscribed to Spiceworks' support and I have posted this
problem last December (2007). The reason I posted it here is because I'm
thinking that it is not a Spicework-specific problem. I'm guessing also that
it has something to do with WMI (I opened a separate thread for this one -
"WMIDiag Errors").

DCOM Server Process Launcher is started and configured to automatically
startup, by the way.

Thanks again.

Warm regards,
Carlito
