Iron Bess Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Psssst, avast there!... Here's a question form a lass that may know her way around bladed weaponry but is more then honest about being computer stupid!! In my own cabin I have a very simple set up. I only have Windows 98 with nothing fancy attached. Do I need to run the patch as a precaution or should I let it be? EVERY TIME I try and do ANYTHING I lose my computer and have to call the cyber Gods at MS to help get this bucket of bilge back up! Any advice would be most welcome. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
