When I shutdown my PC I always have to end task on the following message:
Win95 RPC Wmsg window error. Why is this coming up? Any help anyone has is appreciated. Thanks.

I have heard this is caused by having WebHancer installed on your system. WebHancer is a spyware program, which can get installed on your system without your knowledge, and which sends personal information about you back to the sites you've visited. You should delete it using Control Panel, Add\Remove Programs.

I also recommend you go to www.lavasoftusa.com and download Ad-Aware. This free program scan your computer and will find and remove any other spyware programs you may have unwittingly picked up.

This can be caused by the DCOM version that is installed on this computer.

It can be caused by the network printer(s).

RPC = remote procedure call. We need to narrow down the parameters of what is causing it on your computer. W

hat sort of hardware do you have connected? Is this computer on a network? Is the server NT or 2000? Do you have any other problems with the hardware connected to it that you can append to the question above?
