RPC message

[Joan]

I installed XP for Windows on my PC yesterday. Whenever I
am on the web working on a page, such as looking for
airfares or using my e-mail account, my PC gets a message
that states: "Windows must now restart because Remote
Procedure Call (RPC) Service terminated unexpectedly."
This has happened at least 15 times. Then my windows
shutsdown and restarts. What is my problem and what do I
have to do to fix it?

Thanks.
