Hi All

im running devils 2600 build.

every time i take a look into program files,keep finding a text program called [cheaters] when i take a look inside all that is there is =windows re-enabled ???? this is repeated over and over around six or seven times .

i have run a virus scan using norton and it came back clean ,although it did find a couple of trojans i picked up with showdown pro irc script:)

anyone got any ideas??????

if this is nothing i appologise ,but as i havent a clue why it should keep coming up ??

i get this appearing if i try make an iso of an XP cd.. it appears next to the iso file or .nrg file or cue sheet... what programs have you got installed?

its not a virus.. its windows generated

cheers for the info.

i only have

nero

irc

clone cd

tweak XP

i havent re installed all my stuff ,since ,i suffered a major crash due to a dodgy copy of win dvd:(

and i think you may be right about the copying theory ,coz i do seem to get it after a burning session

cheerrs:)

do your copies of XP work? scan the disc with clony and see if it has read errors on it.... i think XP has a built in feature that stops you copying your CD. ive made ONE that works but its still got errors on the disc at 99% but it installs fine etc no problems using the disc

ye it works fine ,ive done around 20 copies of XP and the install and work fine ,gonna have a go with a real copy of winXP pro corparate edition as soon as my mate can copy it from work

I think this file is made by Half-Life, just delete the contents and make it read-only, it was in there when i was on win 98 and some people said its a half-life file on a different messageboard

[danskiiiii]

basically it is nothing. every time you play counter strike or half life it will create this file.

thanks lads ,sorted

[FthrJACK]

its because windows is wanting to be reactivated.. but thats blocked, im sure thats what this is, and its safe to wipe the whole file off. oh and i sorted my burning problem out... crap discs was the problem... i thought samsung where good too.. normally ok, but these had shadows on the disc if you tilted it in the light, like cloud formations..wierd!

ah well its sorted now

have you exposed them to any bright light before you tryed to burn them??
