Thanks, I just downloaded it and am going to install it. "GOODIE GOODIE A NEW TOY"

thank you ! I am a natural tinkerer by habbit, but sometimes I tinker when I should have left well enough alone. This of course is why know what I know, fixing my own screw ups. I felt a sense of relief when I found this site. I can now put down the hammer and Advil and ask someone who knows. LOL

Well I have a copy of windows ME, but I dont think that would be any better than 98SE. There were alot of bugs in ME. How can I see which updates are already installed ? Windows update?

I went to Trend Micro Housecall to do a security scan of my computer. I am running windows 98 SE. The scan reported to me that there were 2 vulnerabilities in my computer. 1. Critical This remote code execution vulnerability exists in the processing of PNG image formats. An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. (then it references) MSO5-009 for a fix. ---when I go to windows update to search for critical updates, it isnt there. When I go to the manual download page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang

as far as I can tell #2 MS04-018 , applies to XP as well. Still unsure of what to do.

What java is best to use ?

I will have to crack her open, Im sure she has plenty of dust bunnies to give to me. Thanks for your help. Do you know anything about Routers ?

I guess Ill just take my chances and start studying. I want to build my own next time. Hopefully I can get this one here to behave so I can continue to work. If you know of any good advice for a beginner it would be appreciated.

One other thing I forgot to mention (DUH!) When It had its incident of sneezing it was the first time I was turning it on all day. It had sat all night and all day until around dinner time. So over heating seems to be ruled out.

Not me Im too scared!

I have good old windows 98 SE. Sorry about the missing info. I'm kinda new to this posting thing. I have no error messages other than the occasional one with shut down or restart. I have checked all of the connections outside but haven't opened her up in a while. Do you think that would help ?

Here is my situation. I have an old computer nothing special. It was put together for me four years ago when funds where tight and since Ive upgraded a little here and there. I know I need memory Im running on 128mb. Can this cause my computer to restart itself? Keep in mind since the day I turned it on it has restarted itself from time to time. This is nothing new, but this time it kind of...........sneezed..........Where it turned itself off and on and off and on again quite a few times before I could make it behave. Im up on all of the security features and have all of my updates, and

I did everything you asked. Thanks again for taking time for me.

I currently have Norton Internet Security 2004, I also run spy sweeper with shields up. Before I bought spy sweeper I found that I had 2 trojans and a worm. Since then I have removed them but am plagued with the thought that there is something else there that I just cant see. I am quite dissapointed with Norton, but would like to know if maybe there is some security vulnerability that Im not aware of.
