Hi Oseme - First, please don't post in caps - it's considered "Shouting" and
rude, and is had to read.
What you need to do will depend on just how it got disabled.
Try the following fixes in order:
1. In the Registry navigate with Regedt to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services then find the sub-keys
for RPCLocator and RPCss for each of these, set the Start REG_DWORD
value to 2. OK out and re-boot. (If you didn't turn off RPCLocator, then
just leave it alone.)
2. If that doesn't work, then get to the Recovery Console and type the
command:
Enable RPCSS Service_Auto_Start
Then press the Enter key to submit the command. Then type: exit
and press Return to restart the computer.
3. If that doesn't fix it (because the Hardware Profile was disabled) then
try the following from Scattman (MS):
"If you disabled the hardware profile for RPCSS, you
cannot restart the service by just starting the service
from the command prompt, or setting the start registry
key to 2.
I have verified this works on several of my test machines:
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!
