A friend of mine just called telling me that she was trying to play a cd rom game. The game is called Demolition Racer (not a gamer...so not sure what this game does). She is running Windows 98 and has an HP emachine(???). Her PC locked up and she rebooted. When she rebooted her colors were all messed up on her desktop (her wallpaper is a puppy. Said that you can see the outline of the puppy, but the colors are mainly red, green,and blue. No icons appear on her desktop. She also said that her boyfriend loaded the same game on his machine and it had a similar effect except he still has access to stuff. He checked his desktop settings for the color settings, the only two options he had were 16 color and 2 color. He said he had High color (16 bit) and something else before using the game.
Now, after all that ...I have 2 questions...1)does anyone know of a virus within this game? and 2) if my friends computer is dead, is their a way I can pull her files from DOS?
I have heard there is a way to do it from DOS, but am not sure how.
Once again...thanks in advance for your help!
