con/con

hi someone keeps sending my friend the
con/con code and it keeps giving him a
blue screen... i was wondering what kind
of patch to get in order to prevent the
blue screen error...thanks

The patch is called Linux. :)

Well how are they sending him the code?
Web Page redirection, batch file or what....

Tip: Be more specific in your questions

First, have him check if there are any patches from Microsoft that he hasn't installed that might make a difference, such as from http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com . If he's on Windows 95 and it still happens, it might be worth upgrading to 98 (Second edition), because it is somewhat improved but isn't a major transition, like going to NT.

How is the person sending this code? ICQ? Email? Webpage? What? Has your friend tried using any ignore-features on ICQ/AIM/Yahoo IM to block it?

it happens on windows up to and including 2nd edition. I may be wrong but i don't think there is a patch for it. Its been fixed in win2k.

how dumb is your friend to keep falling for the same trick..."dam! happens every time i click on this link"
