Hi guys. I have a big problem. I can't access any resources on the network nor can share my folders because the server service is stopped and I can't make it start. I also can't install any new programs or start messenger or skype. Also when I try to access some websites like Microsoft for example I get the message that the connection was rejected, and the computer takes too long to start or gets blocked and sometimes I can't browse the hard drives. I can't even install the server service from the installation cd. All of these happened after I tried to install Adobe flash on my computer. Flash appears on the list of installed programs even though is not installed and when I try to remove it, it starts the installation process instead and then blocks the computer. I don't know what to do anymore. Any idea to solve the problem will be greatly appreciated.

Given 's update that the trouble began after attempting a Flash install and that a later action with Commander 2003 produced a "windows\system32\system" missing/corrupted condition, the immediate priorities are: preserve user data, avoid further in-place installs from the broken system, and use recovery media or another machine for repairs. was right to suggest a repair install as a logical next step, and 's reminder that networking services (Server vs RPC/Workstation) are separate is useful once core system integrity has been restored.

Practical recovery workflow (safe order of steps):

  • Create a full backup of personal files before any repair. Boot from a rescue environment (Windows PE, BartPE, a Linux live CD, or attach the drive to a working PC) and copy Desktop, Documents, browser profiles, mail stores, and any license keys to an external drive. Do not attempt more installers on the damaged system.

  • From the Windows recovery environment run disk/boot repairs and file-system checks to correct on-disk errors. For example, run a disk check from recovery mode:

    chkdsk /r C:

    This can repair sectors and recover files that prevent normal startup.

  • If the recovery tools do not restore missing system files, perform an in-place/repair install from the original Windows installation media (this is the route that typically replaces corrupted system files while keeping user data intact). Use the installation media’s repair option rather than manual file copying whenever possible.

  • After a successful repair: install all Windows updates, run a current antivirus/malware scan, use the official Adobe Flash uninstaller tool to remove any partial Flash remnants, then reinstall Flash from the official package. Only then verify and, if needed, re-enable networking services (Workstation/Server and their RPC dependencies).

If the repair install fails or critical data remains at risk, image the drive for safety and consider professional data-recovery before attempting a full reformat and clean install.

It seems that you are having the same problem I had yesterday, that is if you get this error message:

The spesific error code is 0x000006ba [The RPC server is unavailable]

See my thread of yesterday here:

There are many suggestions out in the wild as to how to fix this, none helped me.

Nah the RPC Server service and the Server service are diffrent

Server is used for windows filesharing and other stuff . You dont need it to browse, only to share. To browse files on other PCs you only need the Workstation service started, and client for microsoft networks installed.

I read your post and there were some differences with my situation. For example the add/remove icon appears in control panel but when I try to remove a program or just install a new one the computer blocks. And I have Internet connectivity I just can't access the share.

I guess you should try a repair install, at least that should save your existing documents, but before you do that, did you try a restore to prev date that is before you installed flash? and or a sfc /scannow?

I couldn't start system restore not even in safe mode so I used commander 2003 and now at boot I get the message that the windows\system32\system file is missing or corrupted. I guess I should just try a repair install. thanks for your help
