I keep getting this error in my error logs for our Test/Staging Portal. I'm unsure where its coming from. Any ideas?

This issue was a component service. So go into Component Services and drill down to DCOM, then there was a OSearch service there that needed our service account SPSWorker added with launch and activate priviledges.
Another fun Debug!
Someone else's fix for this issue:
"
I don't know exactly what fixed it, but somewhere along the way:
* reset farm credentials (just the stsadm -o updatefarmcredentials; not the rest) as described in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934838 - this involved IISReset's on every server in the farm
* bumped timer job
* bumped administrative service job on the index server (probably should bump those jobs on the other servers as well)"
