The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"Remote Procedure Call Service Termiates by NT Authority\System"  after and upgrade to XP Pro--Now What?

Asked by dudleydocker in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: termiates, 60, close, nt

I upgraded my sister-in-law's PC last night from Windows ME to XP Pro last night.  If it was up to me, I would have blown everything away and started fresh, but she wanted to keep things the same, so I did the upgrade.  It is a three year old Dell Dimension 8100 with a 1.4 GHz Pentium 4.  Before I did the upgrade I installed a Sony DVD+R/RW drive and two 512 MB RDRAM modules (I know, I would have put the money towards a new PC if it was my box) without incident.  I ran the compatability check and came up with a bunch of software that I removed (all but PCAnywhere 8.0).  The only hardware issue was the Santa Cruz Turtle Beach sound card.  I did not physically remove.  Finally I created a new Ghost image of the whole mess onto another partition of the 60 GB hard drive.

Having never done an upgrade before (lots of fresh installs) I guess it went OK.  Some of the Dell somftware (E-support button...whatever that is) and miscellaneous programs give error messages (pop-up's) that I closed out OK.  I was looking for new drivers for the sound card when the PC presented a pop-up that said "the Remote Procedure Call Service has terminated unexpectedly...Windows will close in 60 seconds...NT Authority\System".  It proceeded to count down and reboot.  It did this again and again, with the uptime before reboots ranging from a minute to over 30 minutes.

The little research I have done tells me that this is an NT/2000/XP service"provides the endpoint mapper and other miscellaneous RPC services".  But I am at a dead end as far as how to fix it.

I'd really like to just make the upgrade work rather than a fresh install of XP.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
