NT Authority / System shutdown? 11

[SinisterX]

Whenever I start up windows xp about a minute later, a message appears stating this is from the NT Authority / System and that "windows must now restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) terminated unexpectedly." It goes into a 50 sec. countdown and windows just restarts automatically everythime? I can't get rid of this message or this error problem. What can I do?

Thanks,
Omar

You may be able to use the recovery disk (emergency boot disk, hopefully your dad made one, or you can get one from a friend) and recover the data from the computer if you have to reformat it.

PenelopeC,

This thread is far too large for you to get a good and quick answer to your question.

Try the question again as a new thread.

If your network machines are NAT's behind a router, you do not need or want the XP firewall. The NAT is sufficient for this worm.

The patch downloaded from

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

says:
"setup cannot update your Windows XP files because the language installed on your system is different from the update language"
Are there any other-language patches?

Follow this link:

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.worm.removal.tool.html

and the instructions there and your system will be clean.
Try to set in the control panel - administrative tool - services - Remote procedure call and properties, recovery tab - and set take no action to those 3 options.
Then download the fix. This step is to take only if you can't reach in time the download and run it.

KakCap,

The site wants under Control Panel, Regional and Language Options, Regional Settings, the first major box to specify English (US).
