SYMPTOMS

You may receive the following error message when you run a program that uses RPC (remote procedure calls):
An exception 0E has occurred in Rpcss.exe...

CAUSE

The Windows 95 RPC endpoint mapper service, Rpcss.exe, may not correctly handle reentrancy (more than one pending request). If the RPC endpoint mapper is concurrently accessed by two processes, or twice within one process, an invalid page fault (exception 0E) may occur in Rpcss.exe.

This behavior is somewhat timing-dependent, and may not occur consistently on all computers.

STATUS

This problem no longer occurs in Windows 98. To resolve this problem, install the current version of Windows. For information about the current version of Windows, visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows (http://www.microsoft.com/windows) .

MORE INFORMATION

Since this behavior is somewhat timing-dependent, debug versions of the program or Windows 95 may not exhibit this behavior at all.

APPLIES TO
