Not much help to me as an end-user. First these are SYSTEM ERROR codes, not necessarily ones from an app. In any case, even if this is the real problem, I'd have NO CLUE how to fix this. The error code it seems the app is presenting is '0' which confused me. For all I know the message is nothing more than a diagnostic one?
I've got an app, STARTUPCOP5 from PC Magazine. It monitors all the startup area's. I get a pop-up on all changes to anything considered a STARTUP, actual app added/deleted to any startup area, schedule tasks added/deleted at startup, and the same for services. ANY that get replaced as well. I am seeing pop-ups routinely for the POWER CONFIGURATION, many GOOGLE CHROME stuff and other MS related items. All these are going on while the computer is running.
It would NOT surprise me if such a change caused this, but I can't understand why it isn't happening to my wife's computer.
If I'm really bored or crazy I might restore some of the older C: images I have and see what happens.
I'm also thinking I don't even NEED MSDTC at all? When I manually started the service I did get real errors for it :
DAMN!!!
I just checked the LOG file, it is NEW.... so I do NOT know when this started happening!!! 11/16 - 11/21 and now new at 11/22, only this last boot is showing.
I think I'm FINISHED with this one!
Yes I am!!! I looked at one of MY OLD images of C: from before I installed W8.1 (10/18 was the date I installed it). Look at the log I had on the 10/25 image:

=========================
Whatever caused this was run twice before the install of W8.1, and then since W8.1 is seems to be a daily occurance.
This computer started as Vista and its SP's, then W7 and its SP's, then W8 and now W8.1.
Suspect this is an older problem and probably has nothing to do with anything? A component that probably isn't even needed?
This is the ONLY one that actually has an error:
10-18-2013 20:28 : DTC Install error = -2147467259, failed in z_pTrace->Trace, com\complus\dtc\dtc\msdtc\src\msdtc.cpp (2348)
The same I think I got when I tried to START the service which is set to MANUAL.
Obviously the INSTALL of W8.1 got the error and keeps trying, but do I really need it?
