This exact same thing is happening to me, and several of
my friends. In fact everyone who has XP and an internet
connection seems to have this problem. Is this a new
virus? It has just happened now, so I've got 1 minute to
write this!! Please help Microsoft!!

From my expereience today I found that I had to disconnect the lan/internet
connection before running internet explorer...first I went to symantec and
downloaded the fix, had to try a couple of times before I was able to get to
actual website and download, then after I restarted, without lan connected
and ran the fix. Hope this helps.

Hi Kieron,

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.

Then close Windows Explorer, run the edit on line 257 then run the patch
listed below it: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm
