Sorry to sound dumb, where do I find the logfile? FYI in
properties/dependancies it says "this service relies on RPC (remote
procedure call)" not sure why it says that.

Would a visit to something like PCDocRX be worth the money or are those
things not worth it?

Noone has found a solution to this. The error is also known as 1721 (in =
Event Log). It's RPC that is out of resources.=20

You can try this (File Export before you delete)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=3Dkb;en-us;327649

Is RPC working. Are you on a network?

No I'm a lone home user. RPC is started but I know I don't need it and why
is Task Scheduler relying on it in TS properties(see my other post)?

I am a lone home user...no network. The RPC is on but not needed obviously.
Why would TS (in properties/dependencies) the TS rely on RPC?
Might that be the problem.
Another ?.... if I have to reinstall XP should I do it using sfc /scannow?
I did that once before and preserved virtually all the programmes and files.

Noone has found a solution to this. The error is also known as 1721 (in
Event Log). It's RPC that is out of resources.

You can try this (File Export before you delete)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327649

Is RPC working. Are you on a network?

June 11th 04, 02:54 PM

Just out of curiosity I did the sfc /scannow and it asked me to insert my XP
CD. I did but not sure whether to do tell it do a full installation or
what. Options are full, optional components or other tasks... I'm
relatively new to the PC world and these things kinda scare me ;-)

None of the above, close it. SFC just wants to read the disk. Was SFC =
still running when you inserted the disk? One would imagine it would =
cancel the autoplay.

It's stopped now. If (I hope I don't have to) I reinstallI'll follow the
advice in Kelly's site under Repair the XP Installation.
Thanks for all the help.

I tried that link. Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Rpc.. there
is no Internet item.

Noone has found a solution to this. The error is also known as 1721 (in
Event Log). It's RPC that is out of resources.

You can try this (File Export before you delete)
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;327649

Is RPC working. Are you on a network?

Ok. But I'd try a full clean boot troubleshooting procedure first.

OK - did that, the problem persists. I guess I'm going to have to to a
repair XP. At which juncture, I can't face this for the rest of the day.
I'm off to the bar for a few beers.. Meanwhile, hopefully, a miracle will
occur...LOL

P.S. I downloaded the gadget that fixes this originally to repair
connectivity. It was a side bonus that it also corrects this, albeit
temporaily. See: http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html

Well David, I want to thank you and others for the help. I did an "upgrade"
install of XP, (I hate to admit - I have no idea how to configure this thing
to boot directly from the CD) and it appears that the Task Scheduler and
everything else is in pristine condition. It appears that I didn't lose
anything at all. Yippee ;-)) Now I guess I'll have to download all the
updates from WU again.

Yes, it fixes it, but the next time I boot up I have to do it all over
again. There is obviously a corrupted or missing link in my drive
somewhere. As far as virus/t/adware etc...I'm free right now.
This is the link to the winsockxp repair tool:

I'm having (or will after coffee and reading the paper) a look at that
WinSock thing. You did post that it temporary fixes the problem?

David, thanks for all your help. I've run every conceivable tool to remove
viruses/trojans/spyware etc. and I also have full time McAfee
Virusscan/Firewall Plus/Privacy Service installed. The tool I mentioned
fixes things, but only until the next boot and then I start all over again.
When it's run you have to reboot to take effect. If you don't you wont be
able to access the internet at all. The link is:
http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
I guess there is a corrupted and/or missing component somewhere on my disc
which needs replacing or altering.

David Candy

June 12th 04, 04:46 AM

I downloaded it last night from the link in the first post you mentioned =
it (the one with no replies).

I won't run it. I open it in Word with the recover Text from any File =
converter.

There no little registry tweak, it's a gigantic registry tweak. I've =
been selecting for a minute and I'm a 1/4 of the way through. Decided it =
wasn't practicable to paste here.

What the program does is

is does the program equivelent of typing in Start Run

ipconfig /release * [this command has a renew as well that the program =
doesn't do]

and

netsh.exe int ip reset

then merges in two registry files

So you also type in Start Run

ipconfig /release=20
netsh.exe int ip reset=20
ipconfig /renew

See if the above fixes it without a boot.

Also try
netsh diag gui=20
and follow the wizard

The program creates the reg files called=20
xpwinsock.reg
xpwinsock2.reg in a directory called vbdata somewhere.

Tell me if you have home or pro when you post back and we'll audit or =
lock the winsock keys. But I suspect the programs might fix.

You're a genius! I wouldn't know where to start! My lids are drooping,
I'll try this in the morning and report back.

I downloaded it last night from the link in the first post you mentioned it
(the one with no replies).

I won't run it. I open it in Word with the recover Text from any File
converter.

There no little registry tweak, it's a gigantic registry tweak. I've been
selecting for a minute and I'm a 1/4 of the way through. Decided it wasn't
practicable to paste here.

What the program does is

is does the program equivelent of typing in Start Run

ipconfig /release * [this command has a renew as well that the program
doesn't do]

and

netsh.exe int ip reset

then merges in two registry files

So you also type in Start Run

ipconfig /release
netsh.exe int ip reset
ipconfig /renew

See if the above fixes it without a boot.

Also try
netsh diag gui
and follow the wizard

The program creates the reg files called
xpwinsock.reg
xpwinsock2.reg in a directory called vbdata somewhere.

Tell me if you have home or pro when you post back and we'll audit or lock
the winsock keys. But I suspect the programs might fix.

I did the start/run things and it didn't fix it. I noticed that the black
screens only appeared briefly and vanished. The wizard failed me on Default
Mail and news...always does because I have a weird mail set-up. It failed
network adapters, not sure why. I have no connection problems.

Can you enable Window's firewall, then disable Norton's firewall (in =
that order so a worm can't get you - or go offline to do it).

Does anything change. Both TS and the netsh et al?

Can you enable Window's firewall, then disable Norton's firewall (in =
that order so a worm can't get you - or go offline to do it).

Does anything change. Both TS and the netsh et al?

The other thing it does is cleans the hosts file (forgot to mention =
that).

I didn't need to reboot after running it, though I was offline and it =
was working.

So you log on, run this program and TS starts working but your network =
doesn't?

Type in Start - Run
%temp%\vbdata

and you'll find the reg files it uses.

Merge the 2 files.

Then in Start Run
%windir%\system32\drivers\etc
and open the file Hosts with notepad and paste the contents.

On my 33.6K modem, not at all. It's very fustrating. I have a 56K modem =
as well that I don't use cos the 33.6 was $400 new but the 56K is only a =
$30 modem. And 56 isn't significantly quicker than 33K.

I'll email them to you. Send me a mail with a valid return address. My =
address is valid so hit Reply rather than Reply Group.

What about the Hosts file. That should be there.

On my 33.6K modem, not at all. It's very fustrating. I have a 56K modem as
well that I don't use cos the 33.6 was $400 new but the 56K is only a $30
modem. And 56 isn't significantly quicker than 33K.

I'll email them to you. Send me a mail with a valid return address. My
address is valid so hit Reply rather than Reply Group.

What about the Hosts file. That should be there.
