| 64244 | 2002-07-22 07:09:00 | Recently, I tried downloading a word document containing some information. Or at least, it said it was a word document, but it was actually an exe file. Now, whenever I start up winXP pro, an MSDOS window comes up, with nothing in it, then shuts off, then again, then closes. Is this normal? I've tried fiddling with msconfig, but no luck. | jeffreyyan (719) | ||
