??? I am running win 2000 Pro on a Toshiba Portege 7010CT and I have the red circle on the a-ball and when I double click it I get the message The AAVM subsystem detected a RPC error. I applied the fix as suggested but it does not fix the problem.
I uninstalled and reinstalled but still the problem persists. Any help would be gratefully received.

This is usually due to another anti-virus being present, but not always. Do you have another AV or did you have another AV installed - if so which one?
I would suggest that you try a repair of avast. Add Remove programs, avast! Anti-Virus, Change/Remove button and scroll down to Repair, click next and follow. You need to be on-line to do this.
Did you boot after uninstalling and installing?
Do you have any startup monitor (TeaTimer, Ad-watch, ProcessGuard, PrevX)?
