If you can boot into Windows (regular or Safe Mode), open
a Command Prompt window
(Windows Key + r, type: cmd.exe) and type in the following text:
reg.exe delete "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\HardwareProfiles\Current\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\LEGACY_RPCSS\0000"
/v CsConfigFlags
You may also be able to use the Recovery Console to edit the above key manually.

Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314058
Install the Recovery Console, then do the following:
Type this command into the Recovery Console:
ENABLE RpcSs SERVICE_AUTO_START
You should receive a message saying "RpcSs has gone from
SERVICE_DISABLED to SERVICE_AUTO_START, you must reboot
your computer for these changes to take effect."
Type EXIT into the Recovery Console and let your computer
reboot.
