Won't Start

[Lisandro]

That's correct.

So, I'm empty, what more can I guess or suggest.
Maybe if you dig into Windows Events, log files, avast! log viewer, etc. you could find the answer.
Anyway, why to worry now if everything is cool?

I just found it odd that the RPC error started today.

I was hoping others were having the same problem, because of an update, and had a solution.

I'll just have to let it slide

Yea, but while you (and I) are (or were) letting it slide, we have no dependable virus protection.

I have (last night) gone back to an old image file, so mine is working for now, but I sure do need to know for the future, 'cause you can't always "start over".

Strange thing: While scanning with AVG, it told me 2 software cracks I had on another partition had a sign of a trojan (I forgot what it was) so I let AVG delete it (the crack didn't work, anyway)

I wonder why Avast did not detect this??

Ok, next problem i was having:

Event Type:   Error
Event Source:   WmiAdapter
Event Category:   None
Event ID:   4099
Date:      12/2/2005
Time:      4:09:38 AM
User:      MASTER\Mark
Computer:   MASTER
Description:
Open of service failed.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

This error appeared in my event viewer, starting last night.

I went to find out more about it (what in the heck is "cscript"??)

I went to open the performance monitor, and the error occurred again. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling .NET framework, I tried everything I knew how to do, but the error kept appearing.

So, I decided to restore the registry with System Mechanic (System Restore had no restore points) and the problem went away (for now).

I uninstalled AVG, and installed Avast, and got errors in the event viewer at first, but after a second reboot, no more errors. It seems to work good like it used to. Of course, I downloaded the latest version, but previously, the latest version had RPC errors too.

I suspect a corrupted registry caused my RPC errors, but not sure.


I'll try to let you know if I have any more problems. Cheers.
