What is Microsoft DCOM?

[oldmantime]

I downloaded a program this morning and when I go to install it --tells me: "Microsoft DCOM is not dected on your computer?

I'm not clear on what this program does?

Thanks for any help.

Much thanks to you TT and Jazz.

The program is for handicapping the horses. Mainly workouts for FTS. Come to think of it-when it comes to computers I'm a FTS.
