Lo ha peeps, i wanted to copy a DVD i've created to my main machine today for burning to disc. so away i went to network neighbourhood and low and behold nothing was there.
"odd" i thought, so after the usual fiddling i managed to find out that i cant even change my domain/workgroup as i dont have microsoft networks installed (again very odd).
off to network properties i went and yep, there is no "client for microsoft networks" installed, TCP/IP etc is installed fine.
so i think, "right, well never mind, ill just install it then" ignoring the fact it should be there in the first place.
BUT when i click OK to install it, it fails and i get the following error:
"could not add the requested componant. The error is: the remote procedure call failed."
nerf.
im running WinXP 64-Bit and begginning to wish i'd stuck with 32-Bit. any bright ideas? or am i up shit creek with nothing but a re-install ahead?
