I have had this service disabled before and resolved the issue successfully in my case terminal services and remote access control was also disabled and in (control_panel\administrative_tools\services ) I was locked out completely from enabling the services listed to fix the problem i set to default all start values in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\] the display name will tell you if you have the right service picked as according to (control_panel\administrative_tools\services )from in here you can lookup the start value defaults by right clicking a service and click help 2 for autostart 3 for manual 4 for disable k then i restarted in safemode command prompt with admin access ran regedt32 from run menu went to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcSs\] entered start value of "2" or autostart also in my case my start bar was gone so i had to get creative for navigation around the machine the easiest way for me was to right click the desktop and create a folder then i could open the folder to access iexplorer by clearing the text in the navigation bar i could type control panel and hit enter to get to administrative tools ctrl alt delete will open the task manager from there i could go to file -->new task to get to my run terminal to access regedit.exe and also regedt32 please note it is regedt32 not regedit32 good luck and god bless oh by the way after your service is started be sure to go back to control_panel\administrative_tools\services and enter the correct values in there as well you can do this by selecting the service right click and click properties before you go reinstalling your system over this ..
I have had this service disabled before and resolved the issue successfully in my case terminal services and remote access control was also disabled and in (control_panel\administrative_tools\services ) I was locked out completely from enabling the services listed
to fix the problem i set to default all start values in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\]
the display name will tell you if you have the right service picked as according to
(control_panel\administrative_tools\services )from in here you can lookup
the start value defaults by right clicking a service and click help
2 for autostart 3 for manual 4 for disable
k then i restarted in safemode command prompt with admin access
ran regedt32 from run menu went to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RpcSs\]
entered start value of “2″ or autostart
also in my case my start bar was gone so i had to get creative for navigation around the machine the easiest way for me was to right click the desktop and create a folder then i could open the folder to access iexplorer by clearing the text in the navigation bar i could type control panel and hit enter to get to administrative tools
ctrl alt delete will open the task manager from there i could go to file –>new task to get to my run terminal to access regedit.exe and also regedt32
please note it is regedt32 not regedit32

good luck and god bless

oh by the way after your service is started be sure to go back to
control_panel\administrative_tools\services
and enter the correct values in there as well you can do this by selecting the service right click and click properties

Select "automatic mode" in the RPC service options to reactivate it all depends services(most of windows's... that's why ur system doesnt work) I suppose that this command is aimed to microsoft users who want to leave win's interface. Kill RPC=>kill (most of) XP... They want to have their own interface in their microsoft system. i dont understand why it hasn't been explained before... => WM ? just restart under safemode (f8 or f11 at begin of start of the machine)

This service is critical for the correct functionality of Windows. You won't need to reinstall your whole system (you can get the service back with net start), but it's still a stupid idea and doesn't bring any single benefit at all.
