EA Sports Superbike WC

hope someone of you could help me......... after starting of the game i always get a blue screen . EA says this has to do with the CIH Virus which i might have on my computer, but this is impossible. ALL the others programs run without any error and a scan with a Antivirus-Tool was negativ. So what else can I do ?????? Anyone who knows how to get this game running???????

Peter; You need to post more info, 'e.g. computer, graphics etc. & is this the blue error screen? What does it say? etc..

The CIH Virus is bad news Peter. If that is what is causing the problem ( highly likely) you need to remove it with a specialist CIH cleaner. I only noticed the virus when a game stoped working. About a week later the virus activated and wiped my hard disk and distroyed my Bios forcing me to buy a new mainboard. Allan Harrison

Just out of curiousity..why didn't you just get a new BIOS chip? ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

What's this? I have Ea Sports' SBK World Championship game and have found no evidence of such virus. I can my hard disk regularly with the most updated virus definition, with Norton Anti-virus 5.0 and nothing was ever found. Moreover, I use the little application called "kill_CIH" before scanning my hard disk. Are you sure the virus comes from this particular game? Philster

Read the post. He never said it did, only that he noticed it when *a game* stopped working.

you can check for the CIH virus without a virus checker.. go into DOS cd\windows edit explorer.exe search for CIH - if it finds it then you've got it! dr solomons from july last year will clean these files but some virus checkers like PC-Cillin (even updated to March drivers) didn't recognise it :( clean it before the 26th cos thats when it strikes... (not just the anniversary of Chernobyl - it tries it on the 26th of every month) -- Mike Buckley Cotswold Pig Development Co Ltd Tel: +44 (0)1472 371591 Fax: +44 (0)1472 371208 http://www.toastyhamster.freeserve.co.uk
