windows 98 Black with Red Lines Screen, Need Help.
« on: September 04, 2004, 04:45:05 AM »
 ??? ??? :-/When The windows 98 Computer is on for about 5 or 10 minutes, it all of a sudden turns into a all black screen with these red lines going across the screen. This PC doesn't have any music programs(like Kazaa) and has never had them. It is a pretty Old tower with a turbo Button on it. It has Virus and no adware protection, plus spy Blaster. Does anyone out there know what this is???? Is this a Virus???? HELP---S.O.S. ASAP. ???

You say it has 'virus' are you saying it has a virus scanner or is it infected?

Even though you have no Kazaa, viruses may still be present.

Scan for viruses, spyware and trojans.
