ARE YOU HAVING THE RPC/REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL ERROR?

Maybe it's the orange hair standing and combo of gel that you used?



Come on, answering these questions over and over can really tire someone

Maybe it's all the Botox that renders me incapable? Or I'm just tired. Not
trying to get in anyone's face, just tired of rants.

Um - did you read the post in question? She isn't asking a question.
I spent hours answering questions last night, as usual so I don't
think you can accuse me of being a troll. However, nuff said on the
topic.

Usually people don't like future postings. They
always stay on top (or bottom, whichever way you have you newsreader
set) and block more immediate messages

They stay on top (or bottom) only if you sort messages by date
and time. Not everyone does. (I don't, for example.) And since I
automatically delete already-read posts, nothing stays on top.

Future-posting is a very dangerous thing to do. There are some
news servers (mine for example) that automatically delete
messages if they are posted anything more than a short time into
the future. I don't even see most future postings. Some people
future-post to give themselves more exposure, but they don't
realize that they are decreasing the size of their audience.

So don't answer so many. What the hell is so hard about that? Unless you think
you're the only one who can do it properly? I've not 'tired' of
answering/helping people with W98 problems, and that's been going on for 4 and
a half years now...quite a bit longer than a few hours/days here with this RPC
crap. Quit whining about it and either do it or not.

I basically meant answering the same question over and over. Obviously I
like answering questions, or I wouldn't do it. I also _only_ joined the XP
groups the day the worm was released; and that was to try to help answering
the flood of questions we were all expecting.

I'm sorry if you misinterpreted what I said

Truly sorry to inconvenience you, but I prefer top posting. It's easier for
most people not to have to scroll down.

Play nice with others, or don't play at all. I didn't insult you, and it's
not because I lack a sharp tongue, There are always other, far better,
things to do with one's time.

Let's all get back to trying to help other people out, which is ostensibly
why we're here.

Installing the patch will *not* help if you're already infected: You must
first download updated virus definitions and run a full system scan to
remove the Trojan before installing the patch.

After three days of frustration, I called and paid a computer technician to
come over with a CD haveing the necessary removal tools as this worm would
NOT allow time for a download. He said the time gets shorter and shorter
and... each Internet connection. In addition, he said continued use only
SPREADS the thingthroughout the computer, thus rendering the whole c omputer
eventually. useless. It was wort the $50.00.

Installing the patch prevents re-infection from occurring after
cleaning. Otherwise, it becomes a vicious circle (clean, reinfected,
clean, reinfected) - and you don't simply rely on a firewall.

Right on. If a person presumes to run a computer and connect it to the
Internet they have to keep an eye out for it so to speak. That includes
applying any necessary patches and making sensible use of it. Microsoft has
made it *so* easy to patch there's almost no excuse, especially for personal
computers.

About 46MBs of Critical & Security Updates since SP1. If you got
dial-up, it sure ain't easy to keep up plugging all the holes in MS's
leaky dike of an OS. And SP2 ain't due out for over a year!

While a lot for dial-up if you leave it all to the last minute.
Otherwise, it work out to less than a MB a week. Sounds like part of
an one-night-per-week overnight maintenance routine to me.

Until you hear about updates breaking computers too! MS updates are
like playing Russian Roulette; there's a bullet in there somewhere!

What about the poor guy who just today buys a system? He's not 'done anything
at the last minute', he's actually screwed. By the time he got done doing 46MB
of downloads or patches, during the interim, there's *more* patches added.
Sounds more like a sys admin job in a big company...which is not something
'Joe' home user is looking forward to.

[Stephen]

Poor Joe should immediately download and install the patch for this worm -
reboot - then download the rest of the patches. It may take a while
depending on the connection. I used to download Netscape
Navigator/Communicator with one of those modems and that was 13MB at the
time. It took twenty minutes or so depending on the day .. so it means he
should go out and get a coffee from the local donut shop and take a stroll.
After an hour or two it's done. If done overnight, he won't even notice the
time. But either way he should do it and either way it is no big deal.

And then WinUpdate gets corrupted, or requires Joe Shmoe to do things
most users don't know how to do, like with the crytpographic service
error.

Hell, look at all of the people confused by 32/64bit version, let alone

Well if the 32-bit 64-bit confuses him just tell him to use the 32-bit
patch - he ain't running the 64-bit version. And if he's still stumped after
you tell him which one, offer him 50 bucks for his new computer - tell him
it's a great deal - he will believe you and he will go for it. Or if he's
really acts that dumb hand him a Linux distro and send him to C.O.L.A.
Unfortunately he will probably run everything as root and will open anything
sent to him in email so we've gone full circle.
