OK so I had a hijacker virus thing on my computer which I got rid of, but in the process I erroneously disabled Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator, using services.msc

When I try to right click on the services and then click properties, the properties window does not popup or display, however it seems to think it is running because I cannot close services.msc - it says I have to close all properties windows before closing services.msc, however I cannot see any.

Now I am having problems in Windows with things like right-clicking (some menus missing, including the Properties menu in Services.msc and copying/pasting), my Microsoft Anti-Spyware won't run, etc.

I am guessing that these problems and the disabled services are related.

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this?

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) should be set to automatic.

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator should be set to manual

----------------------------------

can you double click those services, rather than right click?

If you cannot right click at all, you likely have a malware infection or a different problem--maybe corrupt shell extension

If you do not think it is malware, download the following

Run it, sort on the company Same and disable all non-ms shell extensions, then reboot. see if the context menu behaves properly after that.
