XP Keeps Rebooting When Running Ad-Aware

Hello,

Following the steps given before installing SP2, I installed the free version of Ad-aware SE, build 1.05. I run the utilitiy, but keep reaching a point where my computer reboots. Prior to rebooting a window apprears stating that: "Windows must restart because RPC service was terminated unexpectedly."

I'm hesitant to install SP2 in my computer, if I'm having this trouble with Ad-aware. My OS is Windows XP, Home edition.

Would anyone know why this is happening with Ad-aware & how I can solve this problem?

Thank you,

Sampa :o

Boot into safe mode, and try and run the adaware scan from there.
