After trying to reinstall SP6a on my machine which was constantly crashing, the machine crashed halfway during the sp install. Now after entering my user/pass at logon,the machine doesn't do anything. I coped cmd.exe to logon.scr (to get a cmd prompt without logging on), trying to run things like user manager I get messages telling me the 'RPC server is unavailable.' Any suggestions please?

Sounds like you have some services not starting up correctly or not at all try connecting to the machine through server manager and starting some of the services otherwise id recomend a reinstall of NT
