Like a IDIOT:RPC

[mrlucifer]

Like a idiot I disabled the RPC service instead of stopping the service. Now I am having a heck of a time starting up the service. I get the error 1058 message. This is happening on XP Home Edition. I even went into the recovery console and did the command: ENABLE RpcSs SERVICE_AUTO_START : and still no luck. Don't tell me I have to format for this. Help!!!!!!!!

You might want to try restoring it to a period before you disabled it. that should fix the problem

Here try this solution :

RpcSs Service

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

Hope that helps but I'll see if I can find anything else .......
