Seems that your system is demaged by blaster worm. I
heard that most of computers demaged by blaster worm show
message related with "RPC Error". Update your computer
and patch your computer. And don't forget to setup
personal firewall.

-------------------------------

Install a firewall (software like or hardware like router)
to help prevent future similar issues.

Most users will be using the 32 bit edition of WinXP Home
and Pro.


Hope this helps!
