Hi,

Everything you've mentioned, I'm afraid, is probably not what is causing the
problem.

The BIOS probably fixes the problem mentioned here:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283649

I doubt that MSN is causing the problem (the computers I am trying it on
don't have MSN installed - only Windows Messenger 5.0, and besides, MSN
shouldn't affect the RPC service at all).

And the IRQ 'problem' is something that XP does on pretty much every system
that uses ACPI:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q314068

Sorry about that. I'm pretty sure this is a Microsoft bug that they need to
fix, caused when they separated the RPC service into two components as a
security enhancement in XP SP2. The question is whether they can fix it...
