Entirely disabling the RPC service will pretty much render the local machine useless. The RPC service should be set to "Automatic", and the RPC [I]Locator[/I] service should be set to "Manual".

To answer a few of your questions: 1. USB support was not introduced until the "B" version of 95, and didn't reach any sort of reliability until 98SE. 2. 95 can be upgraded to 98SE, and you shouldbe able to do that without data loss. As with any OS upgrade …

If it's a corruption of the operating system, you can try to facilitate a repair by booting into rescue mode from the Windows installation CD and seeing if you can do an automatic repair.

Have you totally disabled all firewall software on all machines while performing your troubleshooting? If you can't even ping a machine, it's often a question of blocking by a firewall.

1. Reboot the computer in Safe Mode. 2. Log in under the "Administrator" account. 3. Make your change in the Users and Groups control panel. 4. Reboot normally.

What version of Pro Tools are you considering? The "Professional" line of their products involves purchasing PCI plug-in cards and external devices. Give us more details; I worked with Avid/Digidesign products for years, so I can probably help you out.
