If you're asking yourself whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit, you have
32-bit.

Start to familiarize yourself with Windows Update which should be
found
under Programs (or All Programs) or go here: www.windowsupdate.com to
protect your computer in the future.

And get yourself a firewall, a free one which may be found here:
http://www.zonelabs.com/store/conte...1573024!-1062696904!7551!7552?lid=home_zainfo

And if you must come back to these newsgroups to post another
question,
please read prior postings before you post!

(Posted with the future in mind.)

Most of the people with the RPC problems are posting from the CDO web
interface, and posts dated in the future don't usually show up there.
Not to mention that it really pisses off a lot of the USENET
fundamentalists that will see this thread thru a real newsreader.

Kurt,

You really need to find something else to self-appoint yourself as. I'll
bet you were the kid in kindergarten who would always decide what toys other
kids could play with.

The whole point of my recent posts and Krista's post is that this is a
unique situation. I've been using these newsgroups for years and haven't
seen a flooding of messages about the same thing like this in a loooong
time.

My intention was and Krista's was to INFORM people on how to effectively use
these newsgroups and solve their problem. No one asked for your advice on
how to filter messages out and if you'll notice, Krista only post-dated her
message by 4 days - not months or years as others who are clearly just
trying to get their question answered often do.

For 4 days, her message will help, potentially thousands of people. If
others who access this newsgroup differently don't get that benefit, then
that is unfortunate, but the many, many others that get helped make it
reasonable in this situation.

I understand that Jonathan. But I think this is a special situation. Just
count how many posts are about this topic. IMHO you and Kurt are just
looking for someone to jump on. Can't you see that this is a BIG problem
(last I heard over 200,000 computers were reported infected with this
virus).

Krista knew what she was doing and she did it anyway -- for a short period
of time -- and in a special circumstance. It will help those who might
happen to see it and read it. If it pisses some people off for 4 days, but
helps hundreds or thousands of people who are coming to this group for that
very answer she is supplying, I'd say it was a good call and not to be
lumped in with the typical post of this nature.

Lastly, based on the sheer volume of messages about this topic in this NG, I
can't imagine a more "immediate" topic.

Just go to Microsoft.com and look at the first item they have listed. It
won't be there forever and you are free to ignore it, but apparently they
felt this was important enough to put on their site at the top for a short
period of time.

And your replies do what, precisely? There is no scientific method available
for finding out how many people *don't* post frequently asked questions

And you are free to take or ignore sage advise, just like you think
people posting the same the same question over & over again are doing by
not listening to your own shouting diatribe.

"Getting an RPC error message and your computer shuts down?
Know that you have a virus and want to install the patch but don't know
if
you have 32 bit or 64 bit Windows?"

"THEN READ THE MESSAGES ALREADY POSTED BELOW BEFORE POSTING ANOTHER

Oh goody, another phony psychic...just what the world needs.
The whole point of my recent posts and Krista's post is that this is a
unique situation. I've been using these newsgroups for years and haven't
seen a flooding of messages about the same thing like this in a loooong
time.

It's no more unique than any other worm/virus/trojan that's come out over the
years. It also happened to have been predicted to happen weeks ago, you moron.
Who cares if you've seen something like this or not in a long time? You whint
SOB's who won't stop bitching and crying at people who ask question(s) that
have already been asked, do so with such regularity and numbers now, that
*your* posts are just as bandwidth-consuming and idiotic, as those of the
people you bitch about!
My intention was and Krista's was to INFORM people on how to effectively use
these newsgroups and solve their problem. No one asked for your advice on
how to filter messages out and if you'll notice, Krista only post-dated her
message by 4 days - not months or years as others who are clearly just

It doesn't matter. No one is so friggin' 'special', nor is there anything so
horrifying (except possibly a war on US soil), that someone can start
post-dating. Shit, you idiots seem to think your immune and above decent rules.
Newbies who post-date 'on purpose' do so because to *them*, their problem seems
severe or extreme, and that *their* situation is unique too. The ones who do it
and don't know about that kind of thing, usually after having it explained
won't do it again, even though they too most likely feel extreme
frustration/anxiety/fear that their $100 (or less) machine is about to become
an expensive doorstop, and feel that *their* situation is unique. In any case,
*NO one* should post-date, not for a pissy little worm, that was predicted and
supposedly had 'fixes' out weeks ago.
For 4 days, her message will help, potentially thousands of people. If
others who access this newsgroup differently don't get that benefit, then
that is unfortunate, but the many, many others that get helped make it
reasonable in this situation.

Then just pull a cut-n-paste routine for a while, BFD, instead of having those
of us who know better, have to put up with someones damn post sitting here
staring at us after all the others are dumped. If you guys can't handle
answering posts without whining and bitching like 8 year old spoiled brat
girls, maybe you shouldn't hang around in here.

You were providing information for her benefit. If anyone would like to
check, open the web based newsgroups and find the future dated posts. Also,
notice that none the replies to the original future dated post, are from the
CDO web format. It's really had to reply to a post that you can't see. LOL
The majority of posts on the RPC worm are posted from CDO and they are not
seeing the posts from Krista as you were trying to point out.

No, posting "in the future" by someone with a problem, *especially* a newbie

fears and worries, and their problem(s) can seem *TO THEM* to be very serious,

**{Steven}**

Scott, why are you working so very hard to upset and alienate others?
Perhaps you think you are doing a service to someone with your snide posts
but you really aren't. On any online community, you can read anything you
want into a persons motivation for a post but since no one is psychic, it is
really best to assume the person making the post has good intentions.
Replies should be made in a non offensive way and questions should be asked
rather than assuming and attacking.

We all want to help others here, that is why we come here. Attacking others,
even if it is just with snide comments does nothing positive for the
newgroup and only wastes others time. They have to wade through all the
garbage trying to find something that actually needs a useful reply. Please
think of other before making attacks on these groups. Use their email if
they gave one, so you don't waste all our time.

Thank you

Steven
