Help RPC error

[Guest]

Well I reinstalled XP SP2 then after working for awhile i noticed my sound
was not functioning. The icon was not showing up on the toolbar currently
running programs( which it usually does ). Then went into ADD\Romove programs
to uninstall.
I recieved an error " The RPC server is unavailable ". I then saw that sound
devices in Properties said it was not working properly, well after everything
I thought a SYSTEM REPAIR would work that didn't work eighter. Then i saw in
MSCONFIG there was one Service that was unchecked DCOM server process, this
service would stay that way evertime i restarted.
So I then reinstalled the sound software from a CD. In installation the
error code 110, RPC "server unavailable or has been currupted". could anyone
help?

A quick search on Google would have saved you the time and effort of posting

Well 1 of 5 registry values are missing under RPC ClientProtocols -ncacn_http
-ncacn_ip_tcp - ncacn_np - ncacn_ip_udp

Do you mean from this???

Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 2000
Verify the ClientProtocols key exists under the
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Rpc key and that the ClientProtocols
key contains at least the following 5 default values:
• ncacn_http REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll
• ncacn_ip_tcp REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll
• ncacn_nb_tcp REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll
• ncacn_np REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll
• ncacn_ip_udp REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll

Here's what I have for ...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols]
"ncacn_np"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_ip_tcp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncadg_ip_udp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_http"="rpcrt4.dll"

Hell, I'm misssing ncacn_nb_tcp REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll

I have been seeing this The RPC server is unavailable error posted a lot
lately.
