Remote Procedure Call Service Terminated

[Jorgesz]

Last night my computer at home kept shutting down. When I would go online it
would shut down after 4 minutes. The error message was System will be
shutting down because of Remote Procedure Call Service Terminated
Unexpectedly.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this???

Thanks.

Hi

This is a posting from MVP Kelly Theriot:

**To stop the reboots: Go to Start/Run and type in: services.msc. Scroll down
to Remote Procedure Call (RPC)/Logon/First Failure/Restart the Service.

Then close Windows Explorer, End Process in the Task Manager for
msblast.exe, run the edit on line 257 then run the patch listed below it:
