RPC service don't start up: access denied
Hi!
On my XP SP2 I went offline (WLAN) and couldn't reconnect to my
access-point. So I restarted the machine.
But know, the RPC service does not start up, so many other programs or
services won't also startup. If I start it manually I get the message "RPC
service count not be started up on local computer. Error 5: access is denied".
I could NOT open the properties of the service to chan...

Explorer hogging system resources
I have noticed over the past few months that every once in a while, maybe
once every other day, for whatever reason, my computer will experience an
onslaught of poor performance that can only be fixed by manually restarting
the explorer process (with this approach, the problem usually resurfaces
after an hour or two), or, ideally, restarting the computer.
Basically, to briefly describe ...

Defrag doesn't work because chkdsk doesn't work
I can not run disk defragmenter because I get the error "Disk Defragmenter

Chkdsk /f." Naturally, running chkdsk /f from the command prompt doesn't
work, same error. Check disk is scheduled to run at start up (and I can't

missing keystrokes whe typing on internet sites
Has anyone heard of having keystrokes just skip when filling in forms or
typing messages in windows such as this one? I have already retyped at least
10-12 keystrokes just asking this question. I don't have this problem when
using Word or Excel or any other pc based program. I realize it could be a
hardware issue but don't know where to start and I highly doubt it is a
hardware issue ...

Disk Defragmenter - wuredir.cab file
my disk defragmenter keeps getting help up by the wuredir.cab file.
Actually, I have 2 of these files in c:windows\softwareDistribution. One was
created today and one October 2006. Should I have these files at all or just
one of them? How do I get the defrag to get past them?

Moving pagefile through mmc?
Situation: we have a remote office with an XP pc which is running low on
space on the C:Drive. I would like to move the pagefile to the D:Drive. The
problem is, the pc doesn't respond to RDP or Altiris carbon copy.The only 2
ways I can get to this pc is through the UNC path or the MMC. Is it possible
to move the pagefile through either of these ?...
