Any further ideas please.

Is this of any use?

After googling it a bit and finding nothing, I read the error again and noticed this "This security permission can be corrected using the Component Services administrative tool."
And did the following

Start -> Run
Type in "mmc" and press enter
Add the snap in called "Companant Services", browse down all the different keys, a box should pop up on one of those objects saying something about "key was not found in the registry would you like to add it" then just click "add"

this as far as I know solved the problem. (the client has not complained since)

From a newsgroup post: "I fixed the problem manually by running dcomcnfg, then going into Component Services -> Computers -> Right Clicked My Computer -> Properties -> COM Security tab. Then, under Launch and Activation Permissions, clicked Edit Default, removed the IWAM account then added it back with the full permissions it had".
