| My windows XP will run for awhile & then a box comes up to save all work, windows must now restart because the RPC procedure terminated unexpectedly.. How can I get it to quit doing this.. thanks for any help anyone can give me.. ooops gotta go, just got the message it will be shut down in 50 seconds....

John,
Here is what a computer friend of my said to do:
This is caused by one of the blaster worms. He should turn off system restore ( in system properties) restart and then run the fix and patch.

Bob & John, For some reason I don't have system restore.. When I right click on properties it says it can't find System Restore.. all that is there are the following 6 tabs.
General
Computer Name
Hardware
Advanced
Automatic Updates
Remote
So it appears that I never had system restore or lost it somewhere along the way.Any suggestions as to how I can get it back?? John
And Bruce I'll be looking forward to seeing you in the valley... |

| Also I went & downloaded that critical Jul 16th security patch from Microsoft. When I try to run it a box comes up that I have to check AGREE, so I do, then it says checking the system, & then it disappears & I just have my desktop screen,, It does this everytime I try to install the patch.. Also does this with Norton.. I have Norton Anti virus in my task bar with an X on it meaning disabled, but when I right click on it to enable it nothing happens.. YIKES |

Now I'm confused all over again, downloaded the blaster worm checker from Symantec, & ran a scan on the computer, & it says I don't have the blaster worm anywhere
Double Yikes |
