GuruI?m assuming this is happening on a Windows machine. This is one of the really vague error messages that Microsoft give for an incredibly large number of problems. I typically see this on servers but have seen it occur on workstations. If you?re running XP, 2000 (server or Pro), or 2003:
- Check and make sure your Remote Procedure Call Service is running.
- There is an older vulnerability that tries to use a flaw in the RPC services. It is fixed if you copy of Windows is up to date so make sure it is.
- Review your application log for any clues.
If you need more assistance let us know your operating system, if it is fully patched and what is showing in your log file around the time you receive the error message.
