Windows shuts down

[Veronica]

I have msn dial-up service installed on two computers in my
home. My computer has XP, the other windows 98. Since
installing the computer running 98 whenever I connect to
the internet on my computer after a few minutes I get this
message that says "windows has to shut down because the
remote call procedure service has quit. This shut down was
initiated by the NT Authority system." The system shuts
down and reboots. Can anybody help?

Hi Veronica,

See if this applies:

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

Close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 which includes the prompt
for the patch once your system has been cleaned.

This script removes all variants of the W32.Blaster.Worm (original, B, C, D,
E and F) and will inform you whether or not the patch is already installed.
