Wierd Computer happening
Well, this was wierd. I was editing a file for a game with the TBG Infinity Editor in WinXP. When I closed the program, it started back up about two dozen times within ten seconds. It was like one of those pop-up attacks, except each one was a separate instance of the program running. I had use the Task Manager to close them. I've been using this program for a couple years and never before had any problems with it. Anyone ever hear of a similar occurance?

How bizarre. Have you scanned for viruses lately? And . . . this belongs in Gaming and Computers.Johonebesus wrote:Well, this was wierd.

Oops, I didn't realize we now had a new place for computer stuff. I think I noticed the gaming, but didn't pay enough attention to see it was about all computing. Sorry.
I had just downloaded virus new definitions a short while beofore this happened. I usually scan overnight on Wednesdays.
