Not much more I can add to the title really. Every time I close MP Config (whether I've changed anything or not) or close MP, I get an error saying that HCWHelper has crashed. MP is set to close to the tray, so this error happens when I exit MP from the tray icon.

This has been happening for some time and isn't new to 1.2A.

Can you check the the Distributed COM (DCOM) service is started. You seem to be having OS level issues

and a quick lookup of the GUID suggests that windows was unable to start the event viewer stuff and this is likely to be because DCOM failed. MP is going to need DCOM to be working

It looks like those errors are from when I booted in Safe-Mode to downgrade my GPU driver.

DCOM is running OK in normal mode.
