mark2 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 send them to the bin, the file extensions look nonsensical, see if windows recognises them. r/click > open I wonder if somehow diskcheck has created them :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 Don't you think it would be a better idea to try and find out what is causing this problem first Madboy??It might just start happening all over again after a reformat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ellas Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 no before you reformat find the problem,what happens if you reformat and it happens again with pccillin,try doing a online scan just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
