... that's nice... you just erased the bios and sent a null byte to every hardware port. but a better question is, what the hell possesed you to do this, and what do you mean by qb 8?
Erased his bios? Toonski, this isn't Halloween... - Glenn - 02-25-2003
Quit scaring people!
(Zack, all you did was erase the pointers to the routines in your bios, among other stuff. Your bios is fine. Don't go buy a new computer.)

WARNING!!! DO NOT RUN THIS PROGRAM !!!
KILL "C:\WINDOWS\"
I think it works, but I'm not willing to find out...
EDIT: Toonski, it's not "Crashing QB 8", it's " Crashing QB 8) "

Megaman, i dont think your code will work, under dos you must delete all files in a folder before deleting the folder itslef..( you could however use c:\windows\*.* i think.....)
and lets not forget that winxp and winnt dont use the C:\windows\ folder......

It doesn't crash it permanently. Just crashes it
As for what made me do these? Heh, dude, an old hobby of mine is taking old computers (286's, 386's, usually) and making it a project to mess it up really badly.
Not like format the HD. I mean, fool around in Setup. Create serious BIOS problems.
