    I have an service that I developed that loads a COM library on startup. The application has been running on a machine for several months on a server, but on at least 3 occasions (on 2 different machines) I have recieved a "Cannot create ActiveX component" exception. In order to get the program to run I had to uninstall\reinstall the DLL. Apparently there is something that is happening were the registry entry for the library is either lost or corrupted (I suspect). Anyone have any ideas how I could work around this? The library is redistrubutable, maybe I could re-register it when I load the service? Any ideas would be appreciated, I'm at a loss why after a few months of operation all of a sudden I would be unable to load the library file.
