    After reinstalling Windows XP Pro and reinstalling Norton Ghost 9, many times, I thought I was close and when I launched it I get the message "Remote procedure call failed and could not execute". An internet search failed to resolve the problem. Prior to the OS reinstall, it worked fine.

    One option: Check that Remote Procedure Call under Start>Control Panel>Admin Tools>Services is Started and set to Automatic. If not, make the change and reboot.

    If you want to search the net for answers yourself, you may have the error slightly wrong - look under "DID not execute" rather than "COULD not execute".

    The RPC was set correctly. This also occurred with Seagate Diskwizard which is a scaled down version of Acronis's back products. I also got an error message of 0xFFF0. The Microsoft website did not help.

    Correct: The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.

    I got Disk wizard to run, but I am still unable to get Norton Ghost 9.0 to work (Win XP).
