swifter_uk Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I am in the process of repairing a friends very sick PC, I have managed to format the Hard Drive & loaded their newly puchased copy of WindowsXP Home.In order for me to test thoroughly & load viruscanner etc to recieve updates, I guessed it would be a good idea to load my ADSL Software/Hardware for speed & to test for their impending arrival of Broadband....I have hit upon a problem though, after a short time online an error screen appears, citing a remote procedure call error...this then shuts down & restarts the PC after 60 seconds.Has anyone had this problem b4? I seem to remember I have hit upon this b4, but I can't for the life of me remember why or how I got over it.TIAMike.P.S. cant be sure this is only a problem with ADSl at the moment as the 56k modem is not being recognised due to missing drivers :censored: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Unfortunatley, on a new install, Blaster is just waiting to jump in. You should really be updated and protectec before you connect to the internet. Which is a bit difficult seeing as we have to download the updates. :huh: Never fear though, M$ have very kindly provided SP1 and all critical updates up to Feb 2004 on disk, for free!!!http://www.windowsforum.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=8150 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Yeah, but it takes them a while to get around to sending it :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Hello swifter_uk, I have just downloaded both the files, so I guess that it rules out site errors.It is possible that your machine is infected with a virus. Some viruses have the ability to prevent a machine from connecting to the major anti-virus websites.try this link, where I have replaced the name with the ip addresshttp://67.97.80.95/products/mcafee-avert/stinger.exeIs your own AV software running properly?Mr. M.Oops :blush: just read the first page of this thread. You have got a virus and are trying to remove it :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifter_uk Posted April 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Thanks "Mouse", just the same problem though!I have the latest version of Mcafee & updates arrive regularly, could someone possibly email tha latest version to me, so I can run it through my machine again?What a waste of space these people are :censored: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent Smith Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 What is your current DAT number for McAfee??If you give me a minute, I will add the stinger to my webspace for you to try and download.Mr. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agent Smith Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 It is entirely up to you swifter_uk, but it may not be a good idea to have your email on show in an open Forum. If anybody needs it you can supply it via a PM.Mr. M.PS 4351 is the latest version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
