Problem installing HP all in one printer

I get the following error message when trying to install a HP Psc 1210 all
in one printer scanner etc.
"RPC server unavailable could not install"
I have looked on Google and tried two solutions I saw there.
1. Reinstall winXP service pack
2. Running the System File Checker
Neither has solved my problem. Can anyone help further?
Many thanks
Dave

Hi Dave

Try this:

StartRun - then type in "services.msc" - without the quotes. Scroll =
down the next screen until you find 'Remote Procedure Call'. Make sure =
that the Service has been started, if not right click on it and select =
'Start'.

Also, in the same list, make sure that the 'Windows Installer' Service =
has been started.
