Something rather strange has started going on with my copy of Windows. Only a few days ago, I started randomly getting dialog boxes stating that the Remote Procedure Call had failed and that I should log off and restart, and it had a timer that counted down before it restarted by itself. In an attempt to stop it from forcing a restart, I changed the response to its failure in the computer management console from 'Restart the Computer' to 'Take No Action'. I didn't see any more RPC failure dialogs, as I expected, but then I started getting some really screwy issues. The first thing I noticed was that I couldn't copy and paste files in explorer. I later noticed that I couldn't drag files, in any program. Then a number of programs I regularly use started taking a long time to load (at least 5-10 minutes) and had some weird behavior: Nero gave an 'Invalid Handle' error when trying to copy files to a compilation (Ctrl+1), WinRar took ~15 minutes to open an 'Extract To' dialog, others just hung in random spots, restarting Windows took 10 minutes as opposed to 1, etc. And after a full restart (but not logging off & back on), the problems weren't present, but after just a few minutes they returned just the same as before.

Edit: It's all because of that damn Msblast virus. Bastards!
Sorry for creating another topic about it.

Sorry to tell you but you have the W32/Msblast virus.update your virus defs you should find msblast.exe in windows system32. just delete the file and restart your computer. I also got hit with this yesterday. Also use microsofts update website and apply the proper patches too prevent this happening in the future.

Dammit! I read some of the other posts about Msblast just now. Funny, I manually disabled a lot of the unneccessary services, including the WU service. Oh well, at least I know that XP sucks in a completely different way than I thought it did.

jus read this on neowin

If your having problems installing the patch within the 60 sec, when you see the window pop up telling you 60 sec, Go to Start, Run and type in shutdown -a. This will cancel the shutdown attempt. Thanks Sub for this tip!
