re: RPC Win XP Service Problem Wednesday, August 13, 2003 at 7:20 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Everett (2940 messages posted) kk: you have just been infected with the famous worm called Blaster a.k.a. LovSan. there are three steps to recovery; the first step is to keep your browser from restarting; while offline, click Start, Run, type: services.msc and press the Enter key. scroll down to Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and right-click it, select Properties, Recovery tab, in all three failure boxes change the setting from "Restart the Computer" to "Restart the Service". Note: some folks prefer to use "Take No Action". click Apply, OK. the second step is to restore your RPC service by installing the Microsoft fix at the first link below (after your text). the third step is to get rid of the worm by installing the fix from Symantec at the second link below. let us know what worked for you...
