Error on Creating publication

Hi all, when I create publication with New Publication Wizard. I get the following errors. Did someone meet this before? Can you help me? Thanks!

Try setting remote proc trans to 0. i.e.

exec sp_configure 'remote proc trans', 0

go

However you may have custom apps that depend on this being enabled, if so, be careful when flipping this switch.

Greg, Thanks!

I try to follow your instruction, but I get the following message.

"Configuration option 'remote proc trans' changed from 0 to 0. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install."

It seems the original value is 0 too.
