Workstation service will not start -- gets error 2
in [Help and Support]
|
From: Jim Snively on 21 Jun 2010 14:12 John, I'm finally getting around to working through the article you sreferred me to -- The following glitches occur: 1. I cannot manually start the RPC sevice -- it gets error 2: the requested file is not found. 2. I cannot open the properties for the network adapters in device manager. Double click does not work nor does properties from the context (right click) menu. Help?

From: John John - MVP on 22 Jun 2010 07:27 The Windows installation is damaged or missing files. Run sfc /scannow and see if things improve. http://www.updatexp.com/scannow-sfc.html John Jim Snively wrote: > John, > > I'm finally getting around to working through the article you sreferred me > to -- > > The following glitches occur: > > 1.

Error 2 is error 2: file not found. Did you look in the event log to see if there are any clues there?
