Ramesh, 
I doing some research I find that that particular key refers to a Norton 
Symantec ccEventManager. It seems that there is a Norton WMI Update as part 
of Norton 2005. Could that be the corrupted key interfering with DCOM and 
WMI?. It also seems that Norton has some information on the WMI Update and I 
am going to be looking into. Maybe I can uninstall that Update if present in 
the WinXP PC. 
Regards, 
Eugenio
