{00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} is a winword dcom server.

what would your server be tring to do with winword?

the fact that it's trying to start as anonymous is also disconcerting. virus or hack attack?

You should have a program on your PC called dcomcnfg.exe. If you run it (Start Run dcomcnfg ) you may be able to fix the problem which one source claims is caused by a bad windows update.

Find Microsoft Word Document and double click on it. Select Security then check Use Custom Permissions and select the Edit button just below it. You should have Everyone, yourself and System = ALLOW ACCESS.

Press Add and follow the instructions if you need to add anything. If you see unknown/unidentified you can remove it.

Repeat for the Machine Debug Manager except it should have Interactive, yourself and System.

Sometimes when you run dcomcnfg it will detect a problem and offer to fix it. Accept its offer.

Not sure if you fixed this but this is what I did and it resolved this issue.
You can fix this by doing the following:
On the server go to Administartive Tools, then double-click Component Services.
in the Component Services snap-in, navigate to Computers\my Computer\DCOM config
In the right pane, locate the program by using its friendly name (HP Port Resolver).
Right-click the program name and then select Properties. On the Secruity Tab, under the Launch Permissions, select the Edit button.
From here add the user for the Anonymous Logon.
Regards.
