"rpc services terminated" countdown box

my windows xp shuts itself down frequently by giving me
a "system shutdown" box with a one minute countdown timer
in order to save anything i am working on. the box itself
states that "the remote procedure call (rpc) service has
terminated unexpectantly"

i can't get a really consistent pattern for when the box
comes up. but i think it has to do with my music software
application (creative play station by creative)

a box after the system shutdown box comes up and says
that this was "caused by the nt authority/system". the
computer will shutdown after the one minute countdown and
then restart. i believe that when it happens once it is
more likely to happen right after that. getting into a
very tedious pattern of shutting down and booting back
up. if anyone out there can help me than you are truly an
mvp.
 
You have the blaster virus.
There are loads of posts in this group about it.
