I have the following setup (roughly) 486-25 AMI - 12MB 760MB Maxtor ESDI HDD 8514/A + Tseng4000 VGA As I have been working over the past few days, Window's 3.0 WRITE and AmiPRO suddenly crashed. Other things have been working fine. On my 286-AT similar problems occured. I am using SuperPrint on both machines. I have heard some that boot-sector viruses can scramble or cross-link files, which would explain the strange crashes. I did (about 2 weeks ago) install a boot selector program for Unix. It basically lets me choose if I want to boot Unix or DOS. Does anyone have any comments? What virus detection/disinfection programs could I try? thanks very much, ...Martin -- Martin Schedlbauer (mschedlb@ulowell.edu) Institute for Visualization and Perception Research Department of Computer Science University of Lowell, Lowell, MA 01854 (Tel: (508) 934-3612)
