XP Rebooting

[Guest]

I searched the forums for an answer to the reboot problem in my XP Home "NT authority system rpc remote procedure call service terminated unexpectantly" . They said updating Windows to the new SP (I have 2002) will correct the problem. DOES anyone know how I can use the Window Update when I can't keep the PC from rebooting every 2 minutes. Can I use my firewall to block the RPC somehow?
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

If your computer is constantly attempting to shutdown
or reboot, quickly go to:

Start > Run and type: CMD , and hit enter.
This opens the Command Prompt window.

Then type: shutdown -a , and hit enter.

This should halt the rebooting problem.

Then immediately turn-on Windows XP's built-in Firewall:
