| 274694 | 2004-09-23 01:50:00 | Hmm you should have asked in here first before you deleted services.exe. I would say you'll have to reformat the hard drive. Since if it is mydoom, it has added entries into the registry, to create this services.exe file. It think it's a part of 98, which is isnt. Or try going to control panel/system/device manager. I cant remember if 98 has this option by after u get to device manager select view/show hidden devices. Does services.exe appear here (under non plug-and play drives)?? If so, delete it, reboot, see what happens. |
