I have a W2000 SP4 PC that will not install a printer. After looking further, several services are not starting including RPC. When I attempt to start services I get the message "Error 1077: No attempts to start the service have been made since the last boot"
My antivirus has stopped running and I can't re-install because the installer service is unavailable.

See link below. A number of services/functions are dependent on RPC service and you will need to fix RPC. Link gives instructions.

you sure you don't have a virus? download and run s-t-i-n-g-e-r.exe from Mcaffee.com to scan for one

I agree that there may be a virus at work here. I will check out the download and see if that helps me out. Thank you.

I finally gave up and formated the PC. It finally got to a point that I could only boot it to DOS. I was able to save the data.
