"sfc /scannow" does not run: error code 0x000006ba

[Tom Meagher]

Hi Again, I originated this (forgot to fill in my name).
I thought I'd add the following points:

1.) XP otherwise runs fine.
2.) The RPC service status shows up as running.
3.) The RPC Locator is stopped, but starting it doesn't
seem to help.

Thanks!
Tom
