I have not been able to correllate this with any specific event or user logon but since it's failing in iedkcs32.dll I suspect some IE maintenance policy might be to blame. I'm finding very little about this specific error in my searches so could you provide some suggestions in how to track down what's causing this?
thanks
Pete
