Good afternoon;

When attmpting to check email using Outlook on a two PC's
both running XP Pro, an error message is displayed:

NT authority system ... RPC service terminated
unexpectedly... system will now shutdown.

Once I was able to click 'yes' to report problem to
Microsoft but before the report could be sent, the PC
shutdown.

Have not installed any new program or changed any setting
since this problem has occured.

Thanks in advance for your assistance
 
What is the exact error message that is logged in the eventviewer?

Have you ran Windows Update already? Also run Office update and scan your
harddrive for virusses.
 
did you install any new patches? apparently the newest patch for windows
causes this problem. Might want to check the networking groups or google for
the fix...

Have a look here also, may not be related, but you should patch it...
