RPC Server Unavailable - Comments Page 7

Just to thank to Justin, his DCOM tip fixed my ATI driver install issue.

I had this error on XP when trying to run a merge application. Also, IIS wasn't showing the ASP.Net tab when I looked at web page properties, making my job quite difficult.

Justin's DCOM comment led to fixing my problem. I went to Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Component Services. Within this window, I opened Component Services-> Computers-> My Computer-> DCOM Config. An error message appeared saying that an application (that it named) had some information here that wasn't in registry, would I like to add it? I clicked Yes - after this both my problems were fixed.

Thanks for the great information Bob and Justin!

Netlimer 2 issue

"I have problem with NetLimiter 2. I got these:

"Windows could not start the NetLimiter on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor, and refer to service-specific error code 1."

I cant start Netlimiter Service. Everything was OK before. I uninstal it manual and reinstall again, but nothing. When I start netlimiter exe file I get this message: "Couldn't connect to NetLimiter 2 service. The RPC server is not listening." What to do?"

right click My Computer>>manage>>Services and Application>>Services>>Standard tab(bottom left of second window)>>find netlimiter and make it automatic on startup>>start the service

on extended tab>>you might want to check your RPC if its set to automatic(dont really know much about this so i just set it to automatic).

It may interest you to know that I have often come across the "RPC Server Unavailable" error in a rather surprising place: when automating MS Office applications with VBA.

For example, I write some code in an MS Access database which opens MS Word, opens a Word template and then populates the document with Access data. This is fine. But if I then repeat the operation, I get the message "RPC Server Unavailable" and I have to close and re-open Access in order to successfully repeat the operation. It's really annoying, particularly as I am not doing anything with networks.

This happened with MS Office '97 right through to Office 2007. Strange eh?

Thank you so much, this was a big help. I would also like to thank all of you that help out the less pc-abled persons...lol...that's me...Thanks to all of you.
