There is an answer from Microsoft HERE.

You may already have the "Blaster" worm.

Check that the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) is running in services and is set to Automatic.
Check that the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator is not running and is set to manual.

To see above> Start, run, services.msc

or try........

Start, run, CMD

net start (check the service again to be sure it is stopped)

net start rpcss
net start (check again)

if no joy, you need to use the XP CD to go to the Recovery Console.

From the Recovery Console type:

enable RpcSs SYSTEM_AUTO_START

reboot the machine.
