Necr()sis Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 Hi, if someone could post a message to let me know if they have heard of this problem or if they are experiencing it...I would really appreciate it. Recently, while I have been playing SWG anytime during the game--doesnt matter when--I will just randomly get an error message box. When this happens, the game will minimize as if you pressed Alt + TAB. After this occurs, I will be back at my desktop with the SWG game minimized at the bottom on the toolbar. There will be a box in the middle of the screen. The title of the box says "System Shut Down" and inside the box is a lot of information along with the red circle containing the white X that you commonly get in some of the Windows error boxes. The information in the box says, "Windows is now shutting down, please save all your work as all unsaved progress will be deleted. This was initiated by NT AUTHORITY \ SYSTEM." Then there is a timer with apporx. 30 seconds on it giving you a countdown until the system is going to restart on its own. It then goes on to say, "Windows must restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service terminated unexpectedly." After this occurs, my system restarts and I have to log back on to SWG. I have never had this error happen to me while playing this game before until just recently. Now it is happening almost everytime I get into SWG. I have reported this bug; however, I will not know whether or not this problem has been solved. I would really appreciate it if someone could please try and help me out or if they know of anyone specifically I can go to. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deft Aklin Posted August 5, 2003 Share Posted August 5, 2003 I used to get a lot of these. Try this: 1) Run a full scan on SWG in the launchpad, but do not run the game. 2) Run a virus scan. 3) Run a scan disk to check for HD errors. 4) Run a system Defrag Following this your system wil run smoother, and a lot of the errors that you are getting should go away.

Roneth Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Heh, Looks like we were all victims of that Blaster Worm virus Damn Hackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razzle Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 yeah this sounds very much like the symptoms of the Blaster Worm. To abort shutdown, go to Start->Run and type "shutdown -a" without the quotes. information and how to remove: https://tms.symantec.com/members/AnalystReports/030811-Alert-DCOMworm.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaycougar Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 GO to a local Compusa to pick up the disc that has the patch and the removal tool. It is the blaster worm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
