Rcp won't start

I have operability of many programs and internet access except for windows update. Any sevice that depends on rpc will not function. Rpc will not start manually. I think whatever activates rpc during boot is corrupt but I don't know what that is . Any suggestions? I'm spinning in circles.
 
Start the RPC Service
1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click
Computer Management.

2. Double-click Services and Applications, click Services, and then 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 for the suggestions. I am unable to double click or bring up any of the poperties for services, in order to change them. I have run the recovery console without any success although I will try that again.
 
The remote recovery console states rpcss sevice is already set to auto. Processes also state it is auto but it will not start. It says could not start Rpc on local computer. error 1058 service cannot be started, either it is disabled or ther are no enabiling devices associated with it. sysyem config utility indicates it is Stopped and that it is essential. RPC locater is running which is also listed as essential. Any other suggestions or places to look for answers. I'm running win xppro. thanks
 
I did a google search and came up with this forum entry - there are heaps of
entries to try but this one if you scroll down seems to have helped this user.
Post back if you find the solution

Quote from the above link: "I am rather happy at the solution I stumbled on to.
I hypothesized that the reason behind the non-compliance of RPC from starting
was the hardware profile not being selected. I modified the following registry
key: HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\Legacy_RPCSS\0000
Then I changed the CSConfigFlags from 1 to 4 (choosing my hardware profile).
After changing it, I tried to start the RPC service and it did. I restarted the
computer and everything came back to normal. Hopefully people who have the same
problem may refer here for a possible solution :) Many thanks :)

Glad I was able to help. I'm keeping a note on that just in case I ever have the
same problem.
