While I am using the computer it is fully functional, but
as soon as I try to acess the internet, it only takes a
short while before a bluescreen comes up. And it say there
is a error in windows, and you got to turn of the
computer. This only happans when I am acessing the
internet, and I have tried changing the ISDN card. May it
have something to do whit the mainboard slot? Well I am
quite exsperienced user of windows, and this error has
never occured to me before. I would be happy if there are
annyone who has some exsperience on this error, or know
what may caus it.
 
Hi,

You have possibly suffered from the W32 blaster worm. You
can go to symantec .com and download the removal tools.
Or you can change the RPC setting so that you can stay on-
line and update the patches from windows update site.

Restoring Internet connectivity and preventing the
computer from shutting down:

In many cases, on both Windows 2000 and XP, changing the
settings for the Remote Call Procedure (RPC) service may
allow you to connect to the Internet to obtain downloads,
and will stop the computer from shutting down.

Click Start > Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)
Type:

SERVICES.MSC /S

in the open line, and then click OK. (The Services window
opens.)


In the right pane, locate the Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
service.



----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
CAUTION: A service named Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Locator exists. Do not confuse the two.
----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------



Right-click the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service, and
then click Properties.
Click the Recovery tab.
Using the drop-down lists, change First failure, Second
failure, and Subsequent failures to "Restart the
Service."
Click Apply, and then click OK.


----------------------------------------------------------
----------------------
CAUTION: Make sure that you change these settings back
once you have removed the worm.

Hope it helps.
