Is the RPC Service started?

Start the RPC Service
1. Click Start, Run

Type in: services.msc



2. Double-click Remote Procedure Call (RPC).
3. In the Startup type dialog box, click Automatic, click OK, and then restart your
computer.
NOTE: If the RPC Service is disabled, you may need to use the Recovery Console.

In Recovery Console, run Enable RPCSS Service_Auto_Start, and then restart your
computer.
 
Thanks. The RPC service is (and was) enabled and running. When
attempting to start the Cryptographic service, I get a Error 193: 0xc3
