I am attemtping to reinstall win xp home using a version
that is about 2 years old. I need to do all the updates
but RPC keeps failing. After it fails three times I am
unable to finish the updates (about 50 MG worth) and have
to restart the computer to reset the RPC service. Any
ideals why RPC keeps failing and what can I do to
overcome this?
 
Hi,

Change the behavior. Start/run services.msc, scroll down to Remote Procedure
Call and double-click it. Go to the Recovery tab. Change the first failure
line to "restart the service".
