trodas Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I wanted to make some submissions by wPrime, when I finally touched the 2.8GHz barrier: http://valid.canardpc.com/1uvus6 ...but... WTF?! "Remote server machine does not exist or it is unavailable." Whut?! Since when wPrime even require connection to the net in the first place? I was under the impression that overclockers understand that during overclocking the board is mostly not even connected to the net at all... So should I force my machine to pretend that there is NO net connection just to make wPrime work or what can I do to make wPrime 1.55 work? There is not any updated version to download as I checked, so... wPrime is dead now, or what is going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bones Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 No, you don't need a web connection to run WPrime. What's happening is one of your OS processes has been stopped that WPrime needs to function properly. I don't know what you are stopping that's process related when you set things up but that's what it is, I've seen this many times before myself to know when I was doing the same with my stuff. Mind you it's been awhile since I've ran into this and I can't recall the exact process you'd need to leave running (I think it's related to "DHCP" in XP by name in the sys admin process tabs) but best thing would be to leave all processes enabled and kill off these unwanted processes one by one until you figure it out. Might take some time but once you have it figured out, you'll be OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ananerbe Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 DCOM has been stopped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trodas Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Bones, you are right. It is the service... Find and fixed: http://hwbot.org/submission/2498881_trodas_wprime___32m_opteron_148_90nm_61sec_500ms Yes, Ananerbe, that is it - DCOM service (in Czech - Spoušťeč procesů serveru DCOM) was stopped. Because I see no reason for it to run, so I stop it. When started, it start services like HW detection and WIA images BS and both I did not like, so... That fixed it. On Win2k, there is no need for this and it run just fine Damn WinXP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENiEBEN Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Never mess with COM/COM+, DCOM and ActiveX if you expect applications to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
