RPC Server unavailable

[HeyBub]

In trying to re-order the drive letters after a disk failure (and a week's
worth of reconstruction), I get the above message.

From "Computer Management" then clicking "Disk Management" the above error
message appears.

I can't seem to find how to get the "RPC Server" to return to "available"
status.

Pointers would be most welcome.

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.

How to install and use the Recovery Console

1. Type the following command: Enable RPCSS Service_Auto_Start
2. Press the Enter key
3. Type: exit
4. Press Return
The computer will now restart.

The computer will now restart.

Okay, Now, from "Services" (services.msc) both

Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator

Show a Status of "Started" and a Startup Type of "Automatic"

But the same message appears (RPC Server unavailable) in both the normal and
Safe modes.

Also the MS Installer isn't recognized by other applications. Would a
"repair" install help either of these oddities?

Thanks
