Incompatible version of the RPC stub error

[Ken]

Whenever I try to print or print-preview from IE 6.0 with
SP1, I get an error message of "Incompatible verson fo
the RPC stub". I'm running WIN ME with Office 2000
loaded. I've also tried the repair method with no luck.
Would anyone know how to resolve this? Any help would be
appreciated.

BTW I sometimes get this same error when I try to print
from Outlook 2000 as well.

Thanks,
Ken

Hi Ken - you might want to try the following, courtesy of Henri Leboeuf
quoting another post about an RPC error related to printing:

"Several people have reported this error recently. This error results from
installing the latest build of Windows Script Host 5.6 (dated
4/23/03). The latest build has a serious bug in the file dispex.dll
that breaks PrintPreview, Find, and WindowsUpdates in Internet
Explorer. If you have already installed this new build. You need to
track down and replace the system file dispex.dll with the previous
version. In Windows Me, you will need to boot from a floppy in order
to do this, because the OS protects the file."

An updated version of Windows Scripting 5.6 is now available with a
corrected dispex.dll here:

This update should also help those Win98x users having problems with
hanging/unresponsive downloads from Windows Update.
