Another solution is to make sure "DHCP Client" and "RPC Endpoint Mapper" "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator" "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" are all running and set to automatic.
I hope this helps too.

When I try to logon to my windows 7 64bit stand alone machine, I get the error message "the RPC server is unavailable"
It accepts the login - says welcome to windows then the error message waits a while then reboots. It has a fingerprint reader, but gives the same error when using a password. It will not start go any further then this in "safe mode" or "last know good configuration mode" or any other mode.. Did a checkdisk booting from a cd rom. Booting from a CD rom, I can see all of the files..
HP dv9000 4 gig ram
Stand alone - no Domain or homegroup
Windows 7 Ultimate installed since it was released
fingerprint reader installed, but I get the same error using a password
up to date on service packs, MS Defender, AVG (free ver), Malware (free ver), Spybot (free ver)
Hoping to not have to do a re-install
thanks in advance...

Just press F11 continously when the system boots in the starting ..Then click on repair and wwait for about 5min (10mins max).
Then once ur system boots again it will restore ur comp. To the earlier time when it was working fine.
remember:Enter the password which you set the last time otherwise it will show error or pasaword is incorrect.
Welcome in advance.:):)Enjoy!
