Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Drew,
It seems that you also didn't see the rest.
He can actually download SP2 to his PC but, when he tries to install it, he
gets that "Access is denied" prompt.

When everything else fails... try chkdsk!

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Carlos,

Actually, I did. My point is that the link you gave to download was a
self-extracting .exe which you advised he use WinRAR on and run update.exe.
My point is that if it is available through Windows Update nothing of that
sort would be required and it should download and install itself with no
additional work necessary. Let me know if that's not correct.

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Drew,
It is correct to install Windows XP x64 SP2 through Windows Update and it
should work.
I understood that the OP had tried it that way so I suggested a safer method
in order to ensure that the "Access is Denied" prompt was not due to data
corruption.
So my advice was to download manually and unRAR in order to ensure data
integrity.
Downloaded file seems to be Ok so far.
There is something else in his PC that I have not been able to figure out
that is causing the dreaded "Access is Denied" thing.

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Hi

I simply upgraded to Vista-Ultimate 64. (Trial - 30 days)

I have Vista Basic on the other partition, and dont have Aero on it!
I like Aero, and please let me know how to enable it on Vista Basic.
I tried several methods to enable it, such as the info available at the
following link, but has not worked!
http://www.walkernews.net/2007/05/03/enable-windows-aero-interface-in-vista-home-basic/

Looking forward to your reply.

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Hi Hemanth,

Vista Home Basic does not have Aero included at all, and it cannot be
enabled. With a WDDM graphics card, the best you can hope for is the choice
of colours without glass by using the Vista Standard scheme.

Batteries not included. Braincell on vacation ;-)

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Hi
I have heard it is possible, and there are so many websites on how to enable
Aero on Vista Basic. But none worked for me.
Are you 100% sure that Aero can not be enabled on Vista Basic?
Windows/Resources/Themes has Aero in it. What is it for?

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

It can't be done.

Ignore the aero.theme and aero.msstyles - they are in every edition of
Vista. Methinks they were given that name before the differences between
features in editions were decided. They could quite easily have been named
vista.theme, vista.msstyles instead. Perhaps if they had a different name
there would not be so many people erroneously claiming that 'Aero' can be
enabled in Home Basic.

There are subtle differences between those files in Home Basic and those in
Ultimate, but I suspect there is more going on in the background. There are
probably other protected system files involved in the use of Aero/Flip 3D
etc.

At the end of the day, altering any files would not be a good idea. For one
thing, Windows File Protection would scream, and for another it could be
classed as 'reverse engineering', which is against the EULA.

Re: System Gone Crazy - Pro x64 - The RPC Server is Unavailable

Hi

I have not got the answer yet!

Is it possible to enable aero with the transparency effect?
