 MK> Dear fellow users...
 MK> I am currently having a computer problem... whether this is due to
 MK> a virus or not, I am uncertain.
 MK> (1) System freezes now and then, no matter what program is being run.
 MK> (2) PKZIP/PKUNZIP report CRC errors and cannot properly zip or unzip
 MK> files.
 MK> (3) Numerous "Unreliable XMS memory" messages at these locations:
 MK> 00DC5906h
 MK> 002C62F6h
 MK> 00A05476h
 MK> 00885B56h
 MK> (4) From time to time I get "EMM386 unrecoverable error #05" or
 MK> "EMM386 unrecoverable error #06" within programs (usually Front
 MK> Door)
     All of the above can be caused by faulty memory.
 MK> (5) Upon booting the system, the CD-Rom driver, instead of
 MK> saying: "Oak Technology" it says "Oak Techfology"
     My guess it that it's always been like this and you just never noticed. 
Or the memory where it loads is corrupt causing it to display an incorrect 
character.
 MK> (6) Upon booting, sometimes the video driver when being loaded will
 MK> say "configuration too large for memory"
 MK> (7) Upon doing "CHKDSK", sometimes the system will freeze back at the
 MK> prompt without a full prompt
     Again can be caused by faulty memory.
 MK> (8) Upon booting, system reports an "IDE Controller" in the PCI slot
 MK> when there is NO PCI card around in the system
     My guess... You have an onboad PCI/IDE controller (no 'slot' is used but 
it still uses a PCI bus which is built into the motherboard).
 MK> If you can help me out, please either leave me a message here in
 MK> this echo, by netmail to Forbidden Knights System, a email to
 MK> mkukla@ee.ryerson.ca or call me voice (416-751-1266 Mark)
     As you can tell from above, I would suspect faulty memory (or possibly 
faulty memory circuits on the motherboard). I won't say it's "not" a virus, 
but I would be very surprised if it was.
     A quick way to tell... If you have another system, move the hard 
drive(s) 
to the other system. If you have a virus, it will be moved with the drives. 
If 
the problems disappear then the problem is in the hardware of the first 
system.
