hi. i downloaded the patch for the Blaster worm in Win98,
then i installed windows XP and tried to run the file. BUt
it either say that "not enough memory space, close one or
more programs to continue"(even thought NO other program
is running and i do have more than enouh memory space) or
something like " this is not a valid win.32 application".
so i've uninstalled XP again because my internet doesnt
work under that worm and i'm stuck with win98. Help
anyone?

Is this the file you used?

Ciao, Walter

Your best bet at going to WinXP is to backup all your files then format the
drive and then install XP...BTW the blaster worm may be on your machine but
will not do anything if you have 98...

There are different version of the blaster patch. There is none for win98. What
