[quoteost_uid0="azn_boi35"]i have another question....sumtimes when i restart tha pc and turn it on again sumtimes it says dis message : windows protection error while instilizing device CONFIGMG....or sumthing like that...or sumtimes it says that i have to change the STACKS in the config.sys file...or sumtimes the screen turns black and theres a lil line on the top corner of the screen and stays like that...whats the problem??[/quote]
just go into the C: drive at the root...
then find CONFIG.SYS and openit with notepad, if it doesn't appear then you'll have to make the file appear. it is hidden because its a vital file for the machine !

anyway... shouldn't be invisible tho.
just go in there and delete the STACK line !
should fix the problem !
the stack line is for DOS, since you have windows installed, it shouldn't be there at all !

with the many problems you have, i would recommend going to a STORE near you that can FORMAT/REINSTALL the system !
with a CLEAN SYSTEM, everything should be going well.

hmmmmmm not entirely sure. you don't leave diskettes in the drive when shut down the comp do you? if so theres your problem. or if CANNOT under any circumstance get in under normal mode, when you restart the reboot (that has a ring to it :biggrin: ) click on safe mode and/or run nortan antivirus or mcafee or wut ever antivirus you have. YOU DO HAVE AN ANTIVIRUS PROGRAM, DON'T YOU. if not, GET ONE. o and make a bootdisk. can't remeber how too though. *cough* *cough* erm.... karma?

sry karma and me posted at the same time...you can format it yourself. just make sure you have ALL of the software the comp came with. especially the windows 3.21/95/98/me/2k/XP cd...i just named all the windows you could possibly have and still be able to support the game (or even have internet capabilities) look for those titles. YOU WILL NEED THEM TO install windows. and make sure to get the CD CODE key (if there is one) and registration code key. ask karma how to format it cuz i forgot how too. in the back of my head it tells me to go to RUN under start and type in format.... can't seem to remember clearly still though

umm...i cant find the file...tell me where to click step by step....and if i reinstall windows (which i have done plenty of times), itz still gonna have the same problem...

ReInstalling windows is good only when you got VERY IMPORTANT files to bring back, maybe because they were deleted...

to have a clean machine... you must FORMAT the whole hard drive, then INSTALL back windows ! only then will you have a clean machine... if its still those everything after you just formatted, then its either you are missing DIRECTX 8.1 who is absolutely necessary to run the game... or your computer is really one messed up computer, in that case, all i can consider for you... is you buying a new one !

as for the virus... yeah, it could be it... be i surely doubt it is ! never heard of a virus who make those !

as for the last problem...

i have another question....sumtimes when i restart tha pc and turn it on again sumtimes it says dis message : windows protection error while instilizing device CONFIGMG....or sumthing like that...or sumtimes it says that i have to change the STACKS in the config.sys file...or sumtimes the screen turns black and theres a lil line on the top corner of the screen and stays like that...whats the problem??

again... explain in details what happens !
in case of the computer RADOMLY working/not working
then it is or your MEMORY (yeah, broken rams cause that kind of problem) or it is your CPU who is running higher then it is suppose to ! in a case of the CPU, we are talking about OVER-HEATING.

can also be your VIDEO card with the very same problem !
BAD RAM or OVER-HEATING.
just look for it all...
but if you wanna be sure of everything...
type in the complete messages it is telling you... we'll try to fix things up from there !

karma i know a guy who can make just about any kind of virus. he has made one that actually cuts the power from air intake fans and causes so much internal heating that it literally causes the insides to melt.

[SSJKarma]

never said it didn't existed PANDA... just said i was doubting it was a virus cause i never saw one on the internet or ever heard of a virus that does that... no programmers have had the guts of going that deep in VIRUS creation !

i am not saying making it, i am saying infecting peoples with it !

all the viruses for now, have all been doing thigns like ####### up windows or giving out your info to others or making em take control of your comp. none of the virus in history actually harmed the computers harddrives or other hardwares !

so i doubt it is an HARDWARE virus !
or he wouldn't the only one with that problem !

for now, unless he gives us the complete message that the error gives, i cannot help him !

yo do any of u guyz know how 2 stop the muthafukin pop-upz!!!!!!!

[SSJKarma]

no, there is no way...
well, you can deactivate JAVASCRIPT which will eliminate half of them... but other then that, you can't do that !
maybe a POPUP KILLER software could work, but i never tryed those !

you're on your own for that. SORRY !
