The RPC server is unavailable. How can I fix it?

I have Windows XP SP3 and I try to install a Dell 964 all-in-one printer and every time it almost finished installing it stops and I get a message that says the server RPC is unavailable. How can I fix it? I don't know I asked this question in the right place, but please, someone helped me. Thank you, too, my CD player stopped working. I can fix this? I had to go to Dell and download the installation of the printer, but I also have the CD that came with the printer. And I had to use you same cable to connect the printer to my Dell PC that I used with my HP printer, but it broke and I am trying to replace it. Thanks again.

Hi Lucinda,

Thanks for posting your question on the Forums of community of Microsoft.

You did changes to the computer before the show?

Here are some ways you can follow to resolve the problem:

Method 1:

The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service service must be started and startup type must be set to automatic.
Steps to follow:
a. Click Start, type services in the start search box and press ENTER.
(b) in the Services window, find a remote and made procedure call a right click on it to select Properties.
c. under the general tab, make sure the startup type is automatic and the Service status is started.

Method 2:
Disable security programs antivirus or other software installed on the computer and check.
Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Method 3:

  • Error "the RPC server is unavailable."

    I have a Windows XP Home SP3 PC who, since yesterday has been report error "the RPC server is unavailable" in attempting to perform specific tasks such as remove programs via the control panel and of the files of backup using Acronis 10. 'Paste' files which have been 'copying' ed by right click of the mouse or drag-and - drop, and finally, Internet Explorer 8 does not load authorize also Windows Explorer is no longer. I suspect that all these problems, which began at the same time, are connected!

    I did a virus check full system using AVG 8.5 and booted in safe mode "...". from last known working configuration"but nothing works.

    Any thoughts?

    I'll make sure that your Remote Procedure Call (RPC) server is running.  Right-click on my computer-> Manage and go to the services section.  You start and stop the services from here.  You can also right-click and select Properties... and see the service dependencies.

    I would like to check the status of the Services.

    Click on the Start button and select Control Panel, administrative tools, Services. Locate the RPC end point Mapper in the list and make sure that the startup type is automatic. If it is not set to automatic, right-click and select Properties, general tab. There is a box after the startup type. The options are available in a menu drop-down by clicking on the down arrow to the right of the box. Make the change and click apply and then click OK. Restart the computer and verify if it has started.

    Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell

    As best I can answer: error signature when facebook freezes

    I think 5.1 means that you're running XP, but what Home or Pro version?
    You specify using IE7, but I think that the error message refers to IE 8. You have it improved recently?
