the RPC server is unavailable on windows 7 stand alone logon

When I try to logon to my windows 7 64bit stand alone machine, I get  the error message "the RPC server is unavailable"

It accepts the login - says welcome to windows then the error message waits a while then reboots. It has a fingerprint reader, but gives the same error when using a password. It will not start go any further then this in "safe mode" or "last know good configuration mode" or any other mode.. Did a checkdisk booting from a cd rom. Booting from a CD rom, I can see all of the files.. 

HP dv9000 4 gig ram
Stand alone - no Domain or homegroup
Windows 7 Ultimate installed since it was released
fingerprint reader installed, but I get the same error using a password 
up to date on service packs, MS Defender, AVG (free ver), Malware (free ver), Spybot (free ver)

Hoping to not have to do a re-install

  thanks in advance...

Another solution is to make sure "DHCP Client" and "RPC Endpoint Mapper" "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator" "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" are all running and set to automatic.

I hope this helps too.
