Yeah, I have to do work this weekend on a computer that's been up and running non stop for 2 years. The fans are just now starting to make noise. and i'm sure windows hasn't been updated in oh, probably 2 years.

ha ha

thats the first thing i noticed after cleaning it out and starting it up. the green loading bar under windows XP. SP1

 

[sirholio]

i'm thinking it's even before SP1. I've checked it for virii and spyware, and every time I do, it checks out clean. It amazes me.

Right click My Computer and go to Properties. It should say if it has Service Pack 1 under "Version 2002" and if it doesn't, it's the original XP.

 

[sirholio]

I'm 90 percent certain it's original. will definitely find out this weekend. There's only one other person who would have touched his computer in a technical way. they may have updated some things. I doubt it though.

For some reason this does not sound right to me. Officer...he touched me in a technical way.

Anyway, that's alot of crap and dust. Where was this computer in a barn?
