Moon Shadow Paranoid (IV) Inmate From: Rouen, France Insane since: Jan 2003	posted 05-04-2003 16:08 lol I remember there was a similar bug under Win 98. You just had to launch 'launch -> execute' pannel, and type (if my memory is correct) "c:\windows\con\con\whateveryouwant". And you had a blue screen ! To Win 98 users, if you want to crash your computer (and provided I remembered the right sentence), type "c:\windows\con\con\The Ozone Asylum has you". That's funny to notice that "con" means in French "stupid" (in a slang way) _________________ Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken. -- Frank Herbert
