| EKD msg me on MSN, i got this virus about a week ago and i was able to fix it within about... 5-10 min its VERY simple to delete ( unless its already ign deleted ur mp3s (rare) ) |

| use the windows find function and do a search for *.vbs then delete everything it fins. if it wont let you delete the MP3s, select the MP3s that mirror the vbs files and play them in winamp. while playing them in winamp delete the VBs mirror |

Better yet....just use a virus checker...
It's not Kazaa's fault.
Anyone can get a virus from just about anywhere.
Ceasing use of Kazaa won't solve the issue.
It's the user's responsibility to watch their own machine to make sure they don't pass on anything like a virus. |

My 45 Gig Harddrive officially died on my at approxiamtely 3:25am EST last night...tried to run a 2nd time to make sure all the virus are gone. The comp hung and all I get is a blue screen....
Crap!
Now the major problem --> My Harddrive is making some weird noises...like those you would heard if you walked into a dark, secluded forest...sounds like crickets cricketing 24/7.....
I suspect there is a whole nest of Black Widows in there....anyone got this problem before...
Please don't tell me that my motherboard is ed...I'm using a backup HD and this is still happening...
Argghh....pissed! |

| if its blue screening try taking out your sound card and other periphals one at a time. blue screens mean driver failure sometimes, maybe something got fried. The hard drive making noise isnt good...Did you kick it or something. the readers might be scraping the disks. Mobos rarely fail compared to other components. check plugins and did you say something about powersupply? if the voltage is wrong it very well mightve fried your mobo |

Are you saying that all your files with a ".mp3" extension are not recognized by your player? |
|
|
| DJ El Kay Dee |
| no they are being recognised but they are considered as system files and therefore when u choose not to see system or hidden files, u dont see these mp3s......the system attribute is on...need to know howto remove this association |
