HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->Software--> Microsoft--> Ole--> Enable DCOM Set it's value to a N instead of the Y thats shown.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->Software--> Microsoft--> Rpc Once there, take a look over at the right hand panel and you'll see "DCOM protocols", double click it. Do not modify the entire value, but instead only remove ncacn_ip_tcp from the DCOM Protocols value, and leave everything else untouched.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-->SYSTEM-->CurrentControlSet-->Services-->NetBT-->Paramaters now look in the right hand panel at TransportBindName and double click it. It should have a value set of "/device/" just remove it and your good to go.

I think it was one of these, although I'm not completely sure. This is what I do after a fresh install and a bunch of other stuff with a custom registry tweak I made over at blackviper.com . I highly recommend takeing a trip over there and making your very own, really saves you a bunch of time.

For me, Sygate always holds open port 1025 on my machine, but when I am running Outpost it goes away immediately.

If I am wrong about anything here, feel free to slap some sense into me...
