By just stopping a program from connecting to the Internet, you will not harm the OS. I did a search for rpcxx.exe and found nothing at both www.dogpile.com and http://www.google.com/advanced_search . hth Al Thompson -------------- The NOSPIN Group Promotions is now offering Mandrake Linux or Red Hat Linux CD sets along with our NOSPIN Power Linux CD... at a great price!!! http://freepctech.com/goodies/promotions.shtml
