Everything may not work on all OS's and bad things may happen using some things that were not tested on all OS's so before you use a Prank on someones else PC make sure it will work ok without messing things up on there PC.
Thanks GoJoAGoGo  | | | Distinguished Member with 41,858 posts. | | Join Date: Dec 2002 Location: Anaheim, CA Experience: Progresses Everyday | | A well stated message hewee as we all learn from experience. | | | Distinguished Member with 54,745 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacra Experience: Having fun | | Yes as you know from what I posted it did not work on your PC and bad things happen.
It was all well and safe for 95, 98 and I think ME but not with XP and your virus program.
I am sure most of the Pranks that are out there that do things to your PC may be older ones so you never know what wil happen on newer OS's. |  | Distinguished Member with 3,475 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Lakewood, Colorado Experience: Advanced, but still learn | | I cllicked on each link and nothing bad happened
Win 98SE, IE6 | | | Distinguished Member with 54,745 posts. | | Join Date: Oct 2001 Location: *Random People Pleaser***Sacra Experience: Having fun | | brushmaster1,
I posted the above because of what happen to GoJoAGoGo.
See thread here. http://forums.techguy.org/showthread...ighlight=prank
I have not been to all the links posted above but if there are pranks then there maybe some that have a bad effects so how on some OS's.
The one that had a bad effect on GoJoAGoGo and some others was because it was never tested on all OS's.
Was safe to run on my PC and on others so no one was hurt here but if we go doing things to someone else PC because we want do to a April Fools Prank then just make sure it's safe for there OS etc. | | | Distinguished Member with 3,475 posts. | | Join Date: Jun 2002 Location: Lakewood, Colorado Experience: Advanced, but still learn | | I remember what happened when you posted that link, Hewee. I was merely stating that there seemed to be no problems with those links in Win 98SE. Anyway, the links posted are merely for sites with suggestions for practical jokes and other completely harmless stuff.
Your point is well taken. As you now know, links that actually run "prank" applications on access CAN be dangerous.
