This error message persists when you try to manually start the services, or after you remove and reinstall of the NTOP.



CAUSE
This error message is related to missing services. In particular, the error message is related to the following two services (as listed in the Control Panel Services application):

To resolve this issue, reinstall the RPC Configuration Service from Network Properties. To do this, perform the following steps:
 * 1) In Control Panel, double-click the Network icon, and select the Services tab.
