Lately I get this system error a lot now that I have upgraded to Windows 8 Pro is a DistributedCom Event ID 10016. Below is the error text:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}

to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Anybody have any idea why I'm getting this error?

Same thing here. Greyed out. Windows 8.1 seems to fill the Event viewer with far more errors than previous versions.

edit: OK, found out why it was greyed out. There are 2 reg keys you have to set permissions to before you go to the DCOM Configuration in Component services. The CLSID key and the APPID key.

From another forum, although it applies to a different app, same principle:

*1. Open Regedit.2. Go to HKEY_Classes_Root\CLSID\*CLSID*.Note: *CLSID* stand for the ID that appears in your event viewer error. In your case, it's {C2F03A33-21F5-47FA-B4BB-156362A2F239}.3. Right click on it then select permission.4. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators. Also click the box that will appear below the owner line.5. Apply full control.6. Close the tab then go to HKEY_LocalMachine\Software\Classes\AppID\*APPID*.Note: *AppID* is the ID that appears in your event viewer. In your case it's {316CDED5-E4AE-4B15-9113-7055D84DCC97}.7. Right click on it then select permission.8. Click Advance and change the owner to administrators.9. Click the box that will appear below the owner line.10. Click Apply and grant full control to Administrators.11. Close all tabs and go to Administrative tool.12. Open component services.13. Click Computer, click my computer, then click DCOM.14. Look for the corresponding service that appears on the error viewer.15. Right click on it then click properties.16. Click security tab then click Add User. Add SYSTEM then apply.17. Tick the Activate local box.So use the relevant keys here and the DCOM Config should give you access to the greyed out areas:*CLSID:

{D63B10C5-BB46-4990-A94F-E40B9D520160}

and APPID

{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}

    It looks like a few people have the same. I have it on both my old PC and my new laptop both running W10. I confirm the error pops up as soon as I start Chrome; it doesn't appear with Ffox nor in Edge. None of the suggested solution worked for me.

    Thanks to all the people who have been trying to help.

    I don't have Firefox, or Chrome, only Edge, and I still have it too. Nothing, Microsoft has suggested works.

    click on start then type in event viewer then right click it to run as admin then go click system then click on the time and date to show them at the top the errors then left click the error then copy it by holding down your left control button then put it into google search to find others with the same thing they are having then its that easy !!!  oh any new drivers you download you always if you trust the software to run all of them as administrator always !!!  Make sure you do this so windows knows you need it installed to microsofts approved softwares to install to your computer.  Thanks and have a nice day

    duh the problem is chrome and did you right click the install of chrome as an administrator when you installed it first ??  If you did not then you need to unistall it then make sure you when you install chrome that you right click the install icon as run as admin.   If you done this and still have problems then you need to send chrome a bug report so they can fix the problem then.
