Best" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: lost & desperate I misspoke when I said there had been no changes made to my system & setup; I had removed win3.1 from the path. However, putting win3.1 back into the path doesn't solve anything. One person sent a snip of a message about reconfiguring MIME.CFG ?? to take advantage of memory available ??? and/or to force Arachne always to swap ??? I couldn't make heads nor tails of it. AFAIC, I should not have to reconfigure anything to get Arachne to start working again. If it worked before it should work now. However, I desperately need full function in InSight and will try almost anything short of kissing BillyGate$'s donkey. The message I referred to above said something about the values sitting in square brackets for InSight withing MIME.CFG ... things like the [130] [110] or whatever I show in my MIME.CFG ??? Is that of which the message spoke? The message seemed to imply that either those numbers could be made larger [which I don't think I want to do, since when searching I often end up running out of conventional memory] or something else could be done to force InSight to use xSwap every time. What do I do to force swapping? Not that I think this is a memory problem, since there was no problem before ... but if that work around makes it possible for me to access MIME.CFG from InSight or to "open" the various htp files Insight needs, I'll at least try it. I'm tired, frustrated, running out of time ... so please, make any queries specific and any tips/hints very basic step-by-step so I have a chance of understanding. Help!!

I'm gonna save this, and then go back to a search I was on.

And if everything works alright, make backups of all files that are changed after setup, so you can copy them back into Arachne-dir if something goes wrong. And as always, don't replace old backups with newer, unless you know for sure that everything still works fine. BTW: make environment bigger than 1024 bytes if you can effort some conventional memory (eg. shell=C:\command.com C:\ /E:2048 /P ). For me (I love using the environment), 4096 bytes sounds good.

Hello Mark: If you have ever made the mistake of booting your computer with a boot-sector virus on a floppy in the A drive, then your hard drive is infected. It matters not whether the floppy was a system disk. Epidemics of boot-sector virri infestations in computers are analogous to epidemics of "social" diseases, and, if you think about it, the virri are transmitted in a manner that is amazingly "similar". I think you get the idea. Enough said!

I checked out the two URLS you mentioned. The Micro$oft URL is very interesting, although it is not about the Kak virus. On the Micro$oft URL you will read all about how active X can screw up any machine running MSIE version 4.00 and higher. Micro$oft advises downloading and installing a patch. I would just simply advise against installing such defective software as MSIE 4.00 or higher in the first place. If you are running MSIE 4.00 or higher in any of your machines, then you should consider retrograding to MSIE 3.01 immediately. if that doesn't work, then you can simply resort to the final solution: C:\>DELTREE WINDOWS I know this will help <vbg>.

As quoted from http://www.sprufc.co.uk/kak.htm "How To Clean up The KAK Virus And Prevent Recurrence Have You Got It? If you do not use Outlook Express (OE) for email then you are in the clear - - read no further." So I was right all along - it isn't a HTML virus/worm. (Nor is it an "e-mail virus" since such things still doesn't exists). And the sollution is very funny (to not get this worm again): "If you are using OE5 then use the Custom option. Scroll down and you'll see Outlook Express. Put a tick in the box and leave the other boxes as they are (any that are preticked, leave that way as they are the default necessaries for the thing to run. The download is now about 10Mb If you are using a version earlier than OE5 then you need to download the entire 27Mb, unfortunately." What an idiotic sollution - downloading 27M !

Hans-Juergen Bardenhagen (until recently a list-member) has recently tried MSIE 3.03 and found the mail client non-Y2K compliant. I expressed my profound frustration with the M$ site over at Arachne Chat. It took me a great deal of time NOT to find the information I sought. I did manage to find out that the German version of IE 3.x has a Y2K inadequacy to do with receiving cookies, but there was no mention of the mail client. I tried MSIE's mail for a couple of messages but quickly reverted to FoxMail, and no doubt others have their own preferences for Windows use.
