... 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?

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.
