Before I found out I had the worm I foolishly stopped the RPC service. After
worm removal, I still have problems with missing start menue & using
services.msr (not allowed to view or change properties, i.e. start/stop any
services).

How can I restart this service? I heard something about Recovery (Console?)

Thanx in advance

Managing Services from a Command Prompt:

You can use variants of the Net command to mae changes to
services from a Cammoan promt. Don't be dissuaded by the
name, the Net command manages all services, not only
network services.

Net Commands for Managing Services :
Net Start Displays a list of running services.

Net Start service Starts the service service. For
service, you can use either the service name or its
display name. (For example, net start schedule and net
start "task scheduler" are equivalent.). Surround
multiword service names with quotation marks.

Net Stop service Stops the service service. The service
must be started before you can stop it.

Net Pause service Pauses the service service. The
service must be started before you can pause it. Many
services don't permit pausing.

Net Continue service Resumes the service service. The
service must be paused before you can resume it.

Hope this helps!

I had this same problem, and luckily was able to find a
workaround:

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!
