Hi,

Win 2kPro, sps 0, 4 and 5 (but no sp3 shows in the registry). Latest
avast! prog.
I know nothing about RPC. My RPC sometimes doesn't start, so avast! av
has a problem scanning properly.

How can I make sure I should install an update of RPC, and which version
to use? I don't want to damage my system.

I've d/l Q298012_W2K_SP3_x86_en.EXE from MS, which seems to apply to my
system, but am not sure if I should install it.

Thanks for any help.

Dugie
