When I run sfc /scannow, I get this message:

The specific error code is 0x000006ba [the RPC server is unavailable]

No files are checked, I guess, besides the one that produces the above error.

Any ideas?

Take a look HERE at what causes the problem, and also how to fix it.

Thanks, Howard. That worked to get ride of the error code, but now when I run the sfc /scannow, and I try to repair a missing dll file from the xp disk, I get a message that says something like: the version of windows you're running is newer than the version on the disk. I keep getting a "retry", "Abort" "Give Up" list of buttons to click. When I try to close them, they won't close, and when I click retry, I get the same message again. Any thoughts?
 
I think that`s because your computer is running xp sp2, and your xp cd is sp1, or earlier.

I`m not sure what would be the best way to proceed here.

You could uninstall sp2 but I don`t know what the results of doing so would be.

Regards Howard :suspiciou
 
I'm pretty sure you're right about that--and since I'm planning on wiping my hard drive clean in a couple of weeks and completely reformatting and reinstalling--I'm not sure it's worth it to find out. Then again, if I can get that dll file back, maybe that'll take away my reason for reformatting in the first place.

Best,

Shane :confused:

I see your point.

Which dll file are you trying to repair?

Regards Howard :)

That's a good question. I'm almost positive it said something like "you have a damaged dll file", without naming the file. Then again, maybe I just ignored it, thinking that Windows would find it on the disk and automatically repair it. I'll have to run sfc again and find out.
