KB890830 loaded on my laptop fine in October but failed in November, error
code 0X800706BE, RPC_S_CALL_FAILED. I have went thru the manual download 4
times now with the same results, it downloads but when I select RUN it starts
to run but hangs up after 4 bars on the progress bar. Even after I manually
download it it still does not show up in the update log as down loading
successfully or fail, no indication at all. I have done the very same
procedure on my desktop and it works fine.

Is the RPC service running? E.g. in a cmd window enter

sc queryex rpcss

It's a service; RPC is an acronymn for Remote Procedure Call

cmd.exe is the NT command interpreter (often mistakenly called
an MS/DOS window.) One way to open one would be to Run...
(e.g. press Win-R and enter cmd.exe


BTW don't forget about your Windows Help for helping to answer
your own questions. E.g. press Win-F1 and search for cmd
And for RPC there is a definition under "Remote Procedure Call"
in the Glossary. E.g. search for "Remote Procedure Call" (with quotes)
or just use the Index to open the entry for Glossary. Note that you can
search within articles by using standard browsing technique such as
doubleclicking where you want to start the find from and pressing Ctrl-f
to open the Find dialog.


Actually, in case you don't have the sc.exe command on your machine
you probably may be better off using a GUI approach to checking on the
status of that service. E.g. Run... services.msc, find that service
in the list and check its status.
