-----Original Message-----
ever since i installed xp pro, I constantly get "this
system is shutting down. This shutdown was initiated by
NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"....(RPC).. and the system would
countdown 60 seconds and shuts down. Can anyone help?
.
Click Start > Run and type: shutdown -a
This prevents the system from automatically restarting
long enough for you to download and install the Microsoft
security update.
Click OK.
If the "shutdown -a" command fails to keep the computer
from restarting, use the following steps:
Click Start, Run, and type: services.msc
A Services window appears.
Click OK.
Double-click Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and select the
Recovery tab. Be careful to not use the Remote Procedure
Call (RPC) Locator item.
Set the First Failure, Second Failure, and Subsequent
Failures items to Take No Action.
Click OK to apply the settings.
Install the latest critical updates using Windows Update.

Remove the worm using your antivirus software. Do this by
attaining the latest virus definitions and then performing
a scan. For more detailed information, use McAfee's
VirusScan Web page on the W32/Lovsan.worm virus or
Symantec's Norton AntiVirus Web page on the
W32.Blaster.Worm virus.

If all went well, the computer is now clean and protected.
If these steps did resolve the problem, contact Microsoft
and your anti-virus software vendor for additional
assistance.
If you used the "services.msc" command (as explained above
in Step 3) to prevent your computer from restarting,
restore your RPC recovery settings to their original state
as follows:
Click Start, Run, and type: services.msc
Click OK.
Double-click Remote Procedure Call (RPC) and select the
Recovery tab. Be careful to not use the Remote Procedure
Call (RPC) Locator item.
Set the First Failure, Second Failure, and Subsequent
Failures items to Restart the Computer.
Click OK to apply the settings.
