Ezenitin_98:  try the following;

open the Registry Editor by clicking Start, Run, type: regedit

expand down to RpcSs via:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcSs
highlight RpcSs and look for the following entry in the right pane:
Name: Start
Type: REG_DWORD
Data: 0x00000002
needed to automatically start your RPC service.

if not seen, click on Edit in the menu bar,
select New, DWORD Value,
type: Start
click on Edit, Modify,
type: 0x00000002 
in the Value data window.

exit your registry, you may need to restart or log out of Windows for the change 
to take effect. 

let me know the results...
