# nothing wrong with XP
in fact it's a pretty decent OS.

# RPC is unrelated to Cut and Paste
Any application using cut and paste is using real and virtual memory.
RPC is the remote procedure call service - in effect, part of facilitating external access to other boxes on your network.

Formatting a hard drive will do nothing but put you back to scratch. Just patch against the virus thoroughly and leave the hard drive alone.

your problem may be resource related - low memory, or for all I know a broken Ctrl key! :)
