RPC service not available

First, you want to go to control panel and services. From there you will see YOUR RPC serive. Stop it and restart it. Make sure it's on Automatic at starup. Also you want to reapply the SP6. Ofcourse, REBOOT and see what happnes. You may have to stop and start service for RPC one more time. This will usaually work. I've seen it not work at all. In that case, I hated doing this since I was short on time I backuped up and reimaged the computer and did a restore. It's not a hardware problem for sure. It's 100% nt OS problem. Are you by any chance running sql server on this machine? Try to stop the SQL serive if you're doing it. Once I had to do that. Just Incase you are. Well, GOOD LUCK.

I have had this issue on several workstations. What aramos15@excite.com describes in his response has worked for me in all but one instance. In the one instance where those things did not work I found that it was the users profile that was causingthe issue. I recreated that users profile from scratch and all has been fine ever since. What was wierd about it was that this same user had no issues on other machines.
