Autoexec.bat:

This is a laptop, right? HDPREPEZ (or HDPREP) prepares your machine
for "hibernation" by reserving an area on the disk to store the
contents of the RAM (plus a few other things). When the RAM size
changes, you need to run HDPREP to change the size of the reserved
area. Sounds like it's working like it's supposed to.

RPCSS is a Windows service that lets other computers run things on your
computer. It's important in some network environments, usually large
corporate networks, but if this is you personal machine, it probably
should be disabled (it's enabled by default). See
http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2003-23.html for a warning about a
vulnerability in RPCSS and what to do about it. I don't see that it
has anything to do with your new RAM, unless somebody changed some
Windows settings at the same time.

Possibly a file RPCSS depends on got damaged when the computer was shut
off improperly, or for some other reason. When Windows sees you're
trying to connect, it tries to load it and fails with the message you
gave. Alternately, some sort of virus, worm, or spyware may have
damaged it, or changed the registry code that loads it, or even be
pretending to be it. If you haven't, check you computer with at least
two different virus checkers and two or more spyware checkers. There
are free and online versions of both available.

You can Google for HDPREPEZ or for RPCSS and find quite a bit of
information; you can also got to Microsoft's support site and check the
"Knowledge Base".

Good luck.
