This issue can be avoided permanently with the installation of a Firewall. Two methods to do so: Buy a Router or Buy/Download a retail or free firewall software. Internet Security information can be found on my website below by going to the INet Security Link on the navigation bar. (or use the following link -- http://rjce1.no-ip.com/security.htm ) The issue is vulnerabilities, yes, however with all ports closed by a firewall -- the issue is immediately solved unless you run some trojan horse virus program to allow and open access to your computer through the router or firewall.

I received that message last night as well (I was not playing a game). On reboot, Windows can't open file TFTP2996. I updated windows w/ the security patch. I thought all was well, but when I reviewed the Security Log under Administrative Tools, there have been NUMEROUS (over 800) Success Audits and Failure Audits in the Event Log before and AFTER I installed the patch. Users w/ names I have never before seen apparently are accessing my computer. I have also noticed that some Success Audit entries show that a new Authentication Package has been installed. My Windows XP firewall is enabled. Should i be worried that my computer has been hacked and the Windows patch doesn't have any effect?

This situation accour when we do in prompt the command shutdown -L if i'm not wrong. Check if you have any exploit or any worm installed. Maybe that is not a Windows problem.

Well, I finally figured a good way to fix the RPC problem for the time being, but as for the TFTP#### I'm completely unsure of. Go into Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. Scroll down to Remote Call Procedure, and right click on it, and click on properties. Go to the Recovery tab and instead of setting it to reboot the PC upon the failures, set it to restart the service. Do the same with the Remote Call Procedure Locator. You shouldn't have to worry about the computer rebooting itself anymore.

Thanks for the suggestion Vaelen, although i think "Fixing the problem for the time being"....isnt such a good idea.. I dont really know much about RPC's, but from what i gather they have to do with someone accessing your computer...turning that option off kinda just "ignores" the problem and doesnt "fix" it...I wouldnt suggest it.
