Well is the RPC Remote Procedue Call server started?

Resolution #1 Start the RPC server is the same command in Vista at the
Command Prompt. I issued the command, it came back saying it's all ready
started.
You may need to right-click the short-cut for Command Prompt and go to
Properties and do a Run as Administrator.
The rest of the resolutions you can forget about, since it's for Domains.

You know, I went to Services off of Admin Tools, but I don't know what
rights are needed to stop and start a service it's all disabled and I did a
Run as Admin on the short-cut.
