OK, I can't create any sharing in my Vista 32 Ultimate.
Please help, what should I do?

Currently there is not "sharing" option at all.

Thanks!

Lets go step by step. If all is the way it should be,we can check for corruption etc.
Look at the ownership tut, that I gave you. Do you have ownership?

What is the file. Is it one that you created? Talk to me.

1. Any file - in that case I want to share a folder. but this is the same to any file on my Vista.
2. I am the admin and the only user in this PC.
3. when I tried to enable sharing using the "control panel" option, I got the next error message: "Could not start the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service".

What next?

Also Check the service
To Start these Services

Go To Start > under search Type services.msc
Now Look for Task Scheduler, Windows Event Log, Remote Procedure Call(RPC), DCOM Server Process Launcher
If you double click on it now can go to its properties
Make sure the Start up type is set to Automatic and start the service
Once you do it for all those service reboot you system then try it

If that does not work, go to services (type that word in search) and try to adjust from there.

All of them are "started".
there is this service that wasn't: "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator". It wasn't on your list.
But anyway I started it.

Next?

OK you have onwership.
You also have followed the tutorial on sharing.
Also read this
Share files with someone
Are you trying to share with another user or to another computer?
Did the files come from another machine or Operating System
Same format as Vista NTFS, not Fat32?

I want to share a new folder that I created, on the net, so I could display it on my streamer.
The streamer connected using the WLAN network.
