RPC

[hibiscus1]

have a new HP notebook with Windows XP Pro.
Every time I log on the computer is automatically shut
down, after about 10 minutes of activity, by the virtue of
RPC.
Is there a cure to that? How to disable RPC?

Thanks for yopur assistance,
hibiscus1

Hello,
You are right and thank you.

It is worst than I thought because this morning I face
more trouble:
it takes a long time to log on,
the start button is not there,
I cannot access the internet,
in short I cannot use the computer at all.
What would be the next step?
Thank again for your assistance,
hbiscus1

Try System Restore to a date/time before issue started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.

Otherwise perform a Repair Installation:
Repair Installation:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm
Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Data should be safe, back-up important data just in case.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and firewall is
installed/enabled.
