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}

    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.

    I don't have Chrome. Should I install it?

    Thanks again everybody who have been helping.

    It seems I solved the problem running the suggested 16 steps once more. Starting Chrome the error doesn't come up any longer. I wasn't able to give the APPID and CLSID back to trustedinstaller. Last night windows installed an update to "Royal Revolt 2" after that I experienced a switching to "Second screen". It might be the update or the changes I made  to the registry. Right now things look fine. I'll post if any issue is coming up.

    yes b/c its one of the fastest web browser out there that has security to it also just make sure you when you get the installer one of chrome for your kind of windows 8 or 10 pro or home versions ok plus after you download it make sure you right click the icon where it is downloaded to run it as administrator ok then you should be good to go ~~

    I dont know but does windows have software that fixes registry entries yet ?  if they do download that one to fix them but also if they dont then you can go online and find softwares to scan your registry entries to have that software fix them for you but for a price of course most of them are free to scan and use but they usually charge you to fix them afterwards ok.  just google search for your windows version you have to fix all your registry entries ok. bingo you got it and fixed now.
