When I shut the PC down i get the following notices on the screen, WIN95 RPC WMSG Window (Program not responding) after I close shut that down i then get Explorer message saying You have performed and illegal operation. I have tried to find out what RPC means and had various explanations. I am not using the PC in a networked environment. This has been bugging me for about 6 months and was not originally present prior to then. I have reloaded Windows without success and removed all software from the PC and still without success. I suspect it is an incorrect setting that has accidently been clicked somewhere but i have not been able to locate it. Any help or suggestions would be gratefully appreciated Thanking you Brian	Krispy (3261)

But i still have the problem that Explorer comes up saying I have performed an illegal operation when shutting down. This happens even if I boot the PC up and then go to shut it down so soon as it has loaded, without using any programes or going on the Internet. Thank you	Krispy (3261)

Could be a device driver problem Try anti-trojan and antivirus software - may work - may not. Something may be running in the background or has been loaded at startup. Reformat and install. See if the problem reappears after each piece of software is installed. Start with DCOM, video drivers, sound, modem before other appz.	Merlin (503)
