Wtf does this mean? Should i be worried?

I only ask because my internet has been kind of off since yesterday. It starts to lag a little bit after i've been on it awhile, and i keep losing connection with X-fire at random points, only to reconnect seconds later.

It means that you have too many toolbars in your browser. Ok ok, I keed.

First, it is difficult to tell from just the pop-up message what killed the DCOM service. You'll need to post up SS of the records from the event log (system more likely than not) that reference the DCOM service failing.

As for the xfire losing connection, I get that from time to time as well.

How do i find the log?

I want to make sure that it's nothing serious or anything.

As for X-fire, It's more than just one random disconnect. It says i time out from the server, but i can reconnect the instant i get disconnected, only to be disconnected seconds or minutes later.

I think it's from going to too many KITTY porn sites.

"Start" --> "Run" --> and type compmgmt.msc and press Enter/Click Ok. This opens that Computer Management Console. You'll see "Event Viewer" on the navigation tree on the left. Expand that and you'll see a "branch" for "System".

Look through the line items that occur around the date/time of the error that you received on the DCOM failure.

If this is the first time it has happened, then I'd keep an eye out for a repeat of this error and try and log/recall what was going on at that point. If it doesn't happen again though, it might have been a random issue with software service trying to update when a connection dropped.

Also - might want to change the name of your computer now that everyone knows it
