WIN XP RPC ERROR AUTOMATICALLY REBOOTS MY PC

[johngiggs]

I have been getting several hits in the Event Viewer beginning today with the following:


The Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 60000 milliseconds: Reboot the machine.

This automatically reboots my PC. It started today and persists every time I go online. I haven't been able to stay online more than 10 minutes. I downloaded an XP patch at:

http://microsoft.com/downloads/deta...6C-C5B6-44AC-9532-3DE40F69C074&displaylang=en

but I'm not sure if this is going to resolve the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

Thanks, SESaskDFC. I'll have to take a look at the registry to see if I have the msblast.exe value in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run key. It took me several attempts to download the patch from Microsoft because I have dial-up and my system would reboot before I could even finish the download.

Thanks,

John

you've got the right patch, though if You don't find the msblast.exe running in your registry, look and see if you have either of the variants listed on this site
