Hello,

Could someone offer a suggestion about the source of the following
error.

>>> import win32com.client
>>> el = win32com.client.Dispatch('EventsLog.Application')
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "D:\Python20\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 94, in Dispatch
    dispatch, userName =
dynamic._GetGoodDispatchAndUserName(dispatch,userName,clsctx)
  File "D:\Python20\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 80, in
_GetGoodDispatchAndUserName
    return (_GetGoodDispatch(IDispatch, clsctx), userName)
  File "D:\Python20\win32com\client\dynamic.py", line 71, in
_GetGoodDispatch
    IDispatch = pythoncom.CoCreateInstance(IDispatch, None, clsctx,
pythoncom.IID_IDispatch)
com_error: (-2147467259, 'Unspecified error', None, None)

The specified service, 'EventsLog.Application', is running when this
error arises.

Thanks.
