Do you realize that you are spreading a virus?i know it was supposed to
do it without the owners knowledge...


If you did look at it ... then follow the instructions below.

 How to remove Happy99.exe Virus 
You can remove this trojan manually from your computer.
To do that, first check the WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder for the presence of these
files.

1. SKA.EXE
2. SKA.DLL
3. WSOCK32.SKA

If you find these files then you have been attacked by the Happy99 Trojan.
To remove this trojan do the following:

1. Delete SKA.EXE, SKA.DLL and WSOCK32.DLL
2. Rename WSOCK32.SKA as WSOCK32.DLL

Make sure that you have WSOCK32.SKA file before deleting WSOCK32.DLL and
ensure that you have renamed this file properly. You may have to close your
Browser, Email software, etc. to delete and rename the DLL files.
(Zookeeper note: If you have Internet Explorer integrated Windows, as I did,
you may have to do it in ms-dos mode.
1. Shut down windows with the RESTART IN MS-DOS MODE option.
2.At the prompt type the bold text.
C:\WINDOWScd system
3.Next prompt and command:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEMdel wsock32.dll
4.And finally:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEMren wsock32.ska wsock32.dll
Then restart your computer.

Open the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\liste.ska in your NOTEPAD to see a list of
who you may have infected with the Happy99 worm virus.)

 Is that when downloading from a net connection, or directly from a bbs?
 If net connection, it's possible that your ISP is too slow to handle the
 load... (Had this a couple of times - 0.1 kB/s over ISDN...)

[newbie] wine

1999-06-11 Thread John Mandeville

how do i get wine to work
this is what happens. i have mandrake 6
root@localhost /root]# wine 
Could not stat MANDRAKE_FLOPPY, ignoring drive A:
Could not stat MANDRAKE_PARTC, ignoring drive C: 
Could not stat MANDRAKE_CDPATH, ignoring drive D: 
Invalid path'MANDRAKE_WINDIR\' for windows directory 
Perhaps you have not properly edited or created your Wine configuration file.
This is either /etc/wine.conf or $HOME/.winerc  
 or it is determined by the-config option or from  
 the WINE_INI environment variable. 
Wine has used /etc/wine.conf as configuration file.

 Can you do a low-level format of the drives from within
 the Adaptec bios?
 Is the termination correct?
 Do you have active termination?
