When the system goes into winxp after about a minute I
recieve an error "Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
terminated unexpedtedly. it will count down from 45 then
reboot!

On the second load of windows I get the same error as
above, and now I receive this error saying "Generic Host
Process for Win32 Service has encountered a problem and
has to close"

What is causing this error and how do I fix it?

Right I have posted all the info on my website, and the link to Symantec. It
seems like a worm is responsible for this RPC vulnerability, and RPC fix,
and removal instructions are on my website.

There you will find the type of RPC error that has been going around very
rapidly at the moment, and the link to Symantec which has fixes.

Hope this helps;
