just before i went to bed at 4 am, i thought i'd watch the last inp i made, to look for descrepencies.
10 minutes into the game, a windows pop up balloon appeared.
"this version of windows is not genuine" !!!!
i got a virus about 2 years ago, and this has appeared ever since. has it been that long since i played a non stop game? i can't believe it.
i do not have the verification code for this, this was a used computer, ex office stock.
i tried to turn pop up's off, and it kinda worked. i played a game after and all seemed well, i was happy. when i ended the game and escaped, there was a never seen before large square pop up box saying the same windows message. i thought i had cracked it, as long as i left that box open while i played.
today, it pops up every 15 minutes even though it is already open. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! (AGAIN!)
At least we know, eh, chaps.
thanks to all your suggestions. i'd say you were all right!
DAMNATION!!!!
cheers guys, this case is closed.
all the best,
kernzy, official mametester!!!!
