Microsoft Office Communicator wont launch

[leeroy23]

Hi

I have installed Office Communicator 2007 R2 on Windows XP with SP2.
The installation goes smoothly and completes.

However, when I attempt to start the hourglass appears for a few
seconds and
nothing happens. I looked at the processes in task manager and
"communicator.exe32* starts for a few seconds then goes away. The
messages logged in the Event Viewer are as follows:


The COM+ Event System detected a bad return code during its internal
processing. HRESULT was 800706F7 from line 62 of d:\nt\com\complus\src
\events\tier1\eventsystemobj.cpp. Please contact Microsoft Product
Support Services to report this error.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.


It appears others have had similar issues, however the posts lead to a
dead
end.

I found one solution on 'Experts Exchange', but I do not want to
subscribe
to this service.

To note I am working on a 64-bit machine.

Is there someone who knows the solution to this problem?

Thanks.
Lee

Try this.

To resolve this problem, register the Es.dll file. To do this, follow
these steps:
1.Click Start, click Run, type regsvr32 Es.dll, and then click OK two
times.
2.Restart the computer.
