Here's a link to try on expanding

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/Default.asp?url=/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/prgg_det_pvfh.asp

Usually, from a command line (START RUN CMD ENTER)
Switch to the CD, by entering D: <rtn> for your CD Cdrive
expand(space)d:\I386\rpcss.dl_(space)C:\windows\system32 (Enter)

Hmmm, you asked for Rpcss.exe, the Windows disks only has the rpcss.dll.
This file is stored in the \i386 folder of the Windows SP2 CD and also in
the DLL cache folder. If the original dll is broken Windows replaces the
damaged file from the Windows cache.
