Hi Svend - You need to take a look at:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=kb;en-us;Q259737 You'll need to
download and run the mcrepair.exe program from that article to replace some
dll's and a type library file (Asycfilt.dll Oleaut32.dll Olepro32.dll
Stdole2.tlb) with older versions. Rename your current ones for backup to
play safe. When you run the mcrepair executable and it prompts you whether
you wish to overwrite Newer files, make sure to click YES for each file ( do
not select "No" or "No to All" ). You need to replace them all and then
reboot. Try that and see if it solves your problem. If not, restore the
ones you renamed.

If that doesn't help you might also want to try the following, courtesy of
Henri Leboeuf quoting another post about an RPC error related to printing:

"Several people have reported this error recently. This error results from
installing the latest build of Windows Script Host 5.6 (dated
4/23/03). The latest build has a serious bug in the file dispex.dll
that breaks PrintPreview, Find, and WindowsUpdates in Internet
Explorer. If you have already installed this new build. You need to
track down and replace the system file dispex.dll with the previous
version. In Windows Me, you will need to boot from a floppy in order
to do this, because the OS protects the file."

An updated version of Windows Scripting 5.6 is now available with a
corrected dispex.dll here:
http://microsoft.com/downloads/deta...F6-249C-4A72-BFCF-FC6AF26DC390&displaylang=en
This update should also help those Win98x users having problems with
hanging/unresponsive downloads from Windows Update.
