I'm wondering if it might be related to IE. After you re-installed 98SE, did you update IE to the latest?

A lot of times devs will inadvertantly use some feature provided only by an IE update, like a new dialog. (I've also seen this done with Office.) It's possible that TS has some dependency on a recent version of IE.

The reason I ask is that the error message mentions COM, which is used by programs to talk to DLL's written by others. (There's also DCOM, distributed COM, which can be used to talk to DLL's on other machines.) COM is the normal way to talk to IE and Office components.

thank you for trying to help me..but I have the latest IE..6

must be something else

[ScratchMonkey]

Can you check the server log when this happens? The server log has timestamps on each line. Note what time this happens, then later look at the server logs at that time and see if it shows anything interesting.

You have been So kind..
it was my DirectX..it must have installed incorrectly..I redid it and everything now seems to be fine..

Thank you for all your help

[ScratchMonkey]
