Hello:
For the past 5 days my machine has not had any new programs and has not been
on the internet, not even connected to a phone line.
I restart my machine each day. Today when I restarted it it froze in the
black screen. Had to manually power it off. It then started just fine did
not even ask if wanted to start normally.
I decided to do a system file search to see if I had any new files since
midnight because I was thinking about installing a program. When I did the
search I found that at the same time my machine froze windows created the
following:
Branches.pnf
WMAD.pnf
tmp.edb
I found out this much.
Windows creates a PNF file for each INF file to facilitate efficient
processing. If a PNF file does not exist, Setup generates one for the INF
file.
Can anyone tell me why this was created when I did nothing on my machine.
