What is StiSvc getting DCOM error in Windows 2003 Server

Q) What is StiSvc and why am I getting DCOM error every few min in my event log on my
Windows Server 2003

Such as: DCOM got error “The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or
because it has no enabled devices associated with it. “Attempting to start the service
StiSvc with arguments”” in order to run the server {jibber jabber}

StiSvc = Still Image Service and it’s relies on WIA “Windows Image Acquisition”
A) Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)

*** By default the above service is Disabled in Windows Server 2003
 
>>> What this service Provides is image acquisition services for scanners and cameras.

If your getting a error that say’s it is attempting to start StiSvc you will need to enable
“Windows Image Acquisition” in services.

This may take place due to a application calling StiScv.

You will find some info googled that mentions StiScv.exe which does not exist anymore in
Windows XP nor Windows Server 2003.

By enabling “Windows IMage Acquisition (WIA)” that will allow StiSvc to run.
