enabling RPC service

[Dave]

I was having trouble with the Remote Procedure Call
service, so I disabled it on the log on tab for this
hardware profile. Now, I cannot enable it again. The
property sheet does not come up.

Help !

Hi Dave,

To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Logon/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Then close Windows Explorer, End Process in the Task Manager for
msblast.exe, run the edit on line 257 then run the patch listed below it:

I had this same problem, and luckily was able to find a
workaround:

If you can boot into Windows (regular or safe-mode), open
a command window (windows
key + r, type cmd.exe) and type the following text:

reg.exe delete "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Hardware
Profiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\LEGACY
_RPCSS\0000"
/v CsConfigFlags

You may also be able to use the recovery console to edit
the above key manually.

Good luck!
