Need help!!!

[Stefan]

My system is very unstable, repeatedly hanging &
crashing. It all seems to be due to a driver which I
cannot identify. Error ID is 1005. Error is DCOM got
error "%%%1" attempting to start the service %2 with
arguments "$3" in order to run the server:%4. I think I
have isolated this to a file rpcss.dll in folder
C:\WINDOWS\system32 but cannot identify vendor. Any idea
how I can identify what is causing the instability so I
can deactivate or replace the driver? Running a Pentium 4
with 1 Gig DDRam, 2 80 Gig hard drives, Cable and 56.6
Voice modem. System worked fine for 6 months before this
happened.

Mentions both DCOM and rpcss.dll

I think I would try following removal/repair instructions the blaster worm.
Just in case.

If you can't help suggest you refrain from making cryptic
comments like "and........." just leave it to someone who
can.

Have checked for viruses with negative results plus ran the program specific for blaster repair/removal. I think this is an incompatible driver, although my system tells me they are all okay.
