System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

November 1, 2007

Hi

I was watching a .divx movie, and I restarted the system, when the movie was

over. I got an error during bootup as 'The RPC Servier is Unavailable'. The

Start Menu has started to look like a Classic Menu, a lot of functions are

disabled, I get kernel error many times, cant play Media Player, cant open

Internet Explorer cant run system restore in safe mode either, ... . I am

sure there is no virus on it!

This happened all of a sudden after restart, and how do get my x64 back to

normal?

I have vista on another partition, and it is running fine.

RE: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Hi

thanks for your reply.

The error message 'The RPC Servier is Unavailable' is only a part of the

problem. In fact there is no software on XP that is working properly! Most of

the software do not even open up!

I get loads of errors!

I scanned the partition with several anti-virus softwares, and no virus is

found!

Looking forward to your reply.

Hemanth:

If your OS is Windows XP x64 I would boot off the install CD and do a repair

install.

RE: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

I tried to boot off the install CD, and do a Repair Install.

But it would just let me to go to the Windows directory in DOS prompt.

(D:/Windows).

How do I repair now?

thanks

Hi, Hemanth.

> But it would just let me to go to the Windows directory in DOS prompt.

That doesn't sound right. You haven't told us anything about your computer

yet. What make and model? Was WinXP pre-installed on it? Or did you build

it yourself? What motherboard/chipset/CPU? Where did you get the "install

CD"?

HOW are you trying to do the repair install? It sounds like you are booting

from the CD and then choosing "R" for Repair the first time it is offered.

To do a "repair install", also known as an "in-place upgrade", you need to

press Enter at this prompt and continue to the Install dialogue, accept the

EULA, then press "R" at the later prompt. (It's been over a year since I

last did this, so my memory is fuzzy, but that's the key idea.)

For details, see Microsoft's official instructions:

How to perform an in-place upgrade (reinstallation) of Windows XP

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q315341

Or you might prefer MVP Michael Stevens' version of the same instructions:

How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install

http://michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm

This will take about as long as a clean install, because it will replace all

the operating system files - but leave your applications and data (and most

of your tweaks) intact. But then you will need to visit Windows Update to

get all the fixes since the date your install CD was produced. Better set

aside half a day for the whole project.

I usually suggest trying SFC /scannow first, before resorting to the

in-place upgrade. SFC compares each OS file to the "known good" copy kept

in a folder on your hard drive and replaces any missing or damaged ones.

Have your CD handy; SFC might need to see that. It takes a while, but much

less than doing a repair install.

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Hi

I did the 'in-place upgrade', and it worked! But I am unable to install

Service Pack 2, which tries to extract the components for a while (10 mins),

and then shows an error, and uninstalls itself!

could you figure out why SP2 is not being installed?

thanks

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Hemanth,

It might happen that the downloaded SP2 file has errors.

Try downloading it again from:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/b/2/8b2347d9-9f9f-410b-8436-616f89c81902/WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe

Using some download manager program like Flashget usually ensures an error

free download.

Also extract the sp2 files by yourself by using WinRAR (it is shareware).

Right click on the downloaded exe, WinRAR, Extract to...

and run "update.exe" from the "amd64\update" subfolder.

Best of luck.

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Drew,

The OP has already repaired his install.

His current issue is that he cannot install SP2, getting an "Access is

Denied" prompt.

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Hemanth,

You are right.

But XP x64 is based on XP Server 2003 so, many issues can be extrapolated

from one OS to the other.

Hope you get your system fixed.

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Carlos,

Actually, I did. My point is that the link you gave to download was a

self-extracting .exe which you advised he use WinRAR on and run update.exe.

My point is that if it is available through Windows Update nothing of that

sort would be required and it should download and install itself with no

additional work necessary. Let me know if that's not correct.
