I have tried several times to perform a standard UPDATE
for my Windows XP (not on a network)and at each attempt,
somewhere in the process I receive a notice advising me
that my system is about to shutdown, and that I have XX
seconds to save any unsaved information. (A timer then
ticks down through 60 seconds.)
The message announces the "shutdown is initiated by NT
Authority\System," due to a "Remote procedure call (RPC)
terminating unexpectedly."
I've updated in the past without a problem, but this
infuriating problem has come up in every attempt over the
last couple of days. Sometimes the shutdown occurs as
Microsoft is "scanning for updates," and sometimes it
happens minutes into the process of downloading updates.
It has also happened at other points between those two.
Repeated searches of the various databases using the
verbatim language of the message I get have revealed no
matches. The closest was a message apparently related to
a problem with a system administrator on a network.
Help would be greatly appreciated.
