virus?

WhiteWashMan

i reckon i got a virus (to add to all my sblive probs)

basically its put childlike scrawls on my close/minimise boxes at top right hand side of window.

any one know anything about it?
the excellent mcafee doesnt even detect it

Could be a memory leak. I get that an odd time after the machine been left running for a day or so without rebooting. Only happens in Win98 though. If one of my machines was infected then my other 4 machines would be as well (and I have no probs with them).

What happens to me is the Max/min/close buttons turn into junk or some gfx from something else. The Start button gets junk written on it.

ya for once I agree with hobbes, My icons on my desktop change into all sorts of **** once in a while, a good reboot usually does the trick.

Hobbes

For once you agree with me? Sorry do I know you?

LOL

WhiteWashMan

could well be right
after about 12 hours installing soundcards and then uninstalling (repeat about 10 times) it came up. i only arrived home today and found that my childish scrawl on the max/min/close buttons was gone and my system was seemingly unaffected (one hopes)
just triggered a vague memory i have about some such problem before that someone had and the word virus sprang to mind
hope it dont reappear

Sounds like video card problems. I had similar problems with a number 9 card I had once, though I can't remember what I did to fix it. I think I just left it, since it only happened once in a blue moon.

Hey, swap you my crappy SonicStorm Pro card for your crappy SBlive card...

Sounds like a HOMOSEXUAL problem to me PAL.

MuppetPolice

whats the difference between an SBLive and the Valure edition?

WhiteWashMan

about 90 quid

Hecate

does that extra £90 pay for a loada software youd never use, or is there an actual hardware difference?

OSiriS

It's probably like the Awe 64...better conducting materials used in the componets, and a few extra ports. Can't remember what they were used for, I could only afford the value

WhiteWashMan

yep.
loads of software. gold contacts for better quality etc and a nice little digital i/o port. sound is truely awesome from it.
buy one now
they rock

Hecate

blah..boasting time:

its coming with my new Dell XPS 550 in the next few months, SBlive, TNT2 32meg and a 19" trinitron...shove that up your swiss roll(tm)
