Help RPC error

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

Well I reinstalled XP SP2 then after working for awhile i noticed my sound
was not functioning. The icon was not showing up on the toolbar currently
running programs( which it usually does ). Then went into ADD\Romove programs
to uninstall.
I recieved an error " The RPC server is unavailable ". I then saw that sound
devices in Properties said it was not working properly, well after everything
I thought a SYSTEM REPAIR would work that didn't work eighter. Then i saw in
MSCONFIG there was one Service that was unchecked DCOM server process, this
service would stay that way evertime i restarted.
So I then reinstalled the sound software from a CD. In installation the
error code 110, RPC "server unavailable or has been currupted". could anyone
help?

Do you mean from this???

Microsoft Windows XP and Microsoft Windows 2000
Verify the ClientProtocols key exists under the
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Rpc key and that the ClientProtocols
key contains at least the following 5 default values:
• ncacn_http REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll
• ncacn_ip_tcp REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll
• ncacn_nb_tcp REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll
• ncacn_np REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll
• ncacn_ip_udp REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll

Here's what I have for ...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols]
"ncacn_np"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_ip_tcp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncadg_ip_udp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_http"="rpcrt4.dll"

Hell, I'm misssing ncacn_nb_tcp REG_SZ rpcrt4.dll

I have been seeing this The RPC server is unavailable error posted a lot
lately.
