the install because there is no RPC Stub. what does this
mean and how do I correct it?

What's the EXACT error message?
This is often caused by having multiple version of the file OELAUT32.DLL on
the computer - do a Search for all such. and post back with the Properties
of each, and their locations.

nothing showed up. Blank.

A typo on Noel's part, he meant to type OLEAUT32.DLL.

Did search. Three DLL files came up.
1. C:\Windows\System app.ext. 569.344 bytes
2. c:\Windows\System\sfp\archive app.ext 614,672 bytes
3. c:\Program Files\New Tech Infosystems\Nti CD Maker
app.ex. 598,288 bytes.

The correct version of OLEAUT32.DLL for Win Me is the version that is now in
your Windows\System\sfp\archive folder. The copy you have instead in your
system folder appears to be that for XP SP1.

Replacing the copy in your system folder is not easy as this file is protected
by Win Me's system file protection, which does intrigue as to how it has been
updated to the version used in XP. Try the following. If it doesn't help
with the problem then reverse the steps to restore the current copy.

Copy OLEAUT32.DLL from C:\Windows\system\sfp\archive to your desktop. Rename
it OLEAUT32.NEW and now drag it to the windows\system folder.
Boot to a DOS prompt using a floppy.
At the A:\ prompt enter
C:
This then switches to a C:\ prompt. Now enter
CD WINDOWS\SYSTEM
This then switches you to a C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM prompt. Now enter
REN OLEAUT32.DLL OLEAUT32.OLD
and
REN OLEAUT32.NEW OLEAUT32.DLL
Remove floppy
Boot to Normal Mode.

Has this helped?

Help. I went to Windows Explorer and looked in system
files. OLEAUT32.DLL - 556 KB - hasn't been modified
since 8/23/01. Under system sfp archive OLEAUT32.DLL
601 KB - 6/8/2000 modified. Does this mean anything?
Thought I would tell you this to see if you still advise me
to make the changes.

I seem to be having a driver problem. On one of my burning
programs error message came up no supported CD-R or CD-RW
drive. Yet the computer recognizes the burner. On another
burn program it said cannot find any drives on your SCSI
Bus. With that error, it said most common reason is you
don't have properly installed ASPI driver. I have looked
at system and can't find ASPI driver. I looked under
folder system32/drivers.

At the last prompt do I type all of this on the same line
(command) This then switches you to a C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
prompt. Now enter
REN OLEAUT32.DLL OLEAUT32.OLD
and
REN OLEAUT32.NEW OLEAUT32.DLL

each of the REN statements needs to be typed on its own line after the
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ prompt - thusly

REN OLEAUT32.DLL OLEAUT32.OLD
(hit the Enter key - the response may come back '1 File renamed', and then
the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM prompt will reappear)

REN OLEAUT32.NEW OLEAUT32.DLL
(ditto)
