    I'm assuming it's XP?

    Go to Start, Run and type in services.msc then OK.


    Scroll down to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and double-click it.

    Make sure it's set to Automatic and it's Started.

    Determine the file version of the program you are trying to install, then follow THESE steps to install a new engine.

    As far as DCOM, do you have SP2 installed?
     
  16. lemoncadillac

    lemoncadillac Private E-2

    Yes sp2 is installed
     
  17. lemoncadillac

    Can you use System Restore to get you back to normal desktop?


    I would start considering doing a Repair, and if that doesn't help, formatting and starting again.
     
  25. lemoncadillac

    lemoncadillac Private E-2

    I am going to restore. What do you mean by repair?
     
  26. lemoncadillac

    lemoncadillac Private E-2

    No it will not restore.
     
  27. lemoncadillac

    lemoncadillac Private E-2

    Now it will not boot. NTLDR is missing? Ideas?

    NTLDR missing isn't that hard to fix normally, but if I were you, I would consider a Repair or format.

    A repair is basically installing Windows over itself. You will lose Service Packs, but your files and programs will be preserved.

    HERE are the steps for the ntldr issue, but you will still have the other problems, which is why I suggest you consider your other options.
