Stupid Hardware Requirement

I downloaded a ISO image witch came with an EXE extention on the end. :rolleyes: When I saw this I thought "No problem, I'll rename the exe extention to an ISO file. Well, it was not this easy. I have a Intel Celeron 700 MHZ processor (old, I know I'm buying a new computer soon enough). But my processor isn't fast enough to remane a 500 MB file! After the 7th or 8th time Windows crashed, I gave up. I guess Windows requires a 3GHZ processor to perform a simple task :rolleyes:

Wait a minute. So you saw ".iso.exe" and didn't immediately think "VBS virus" why? Besides, renaming an executable to ISO will make it inoperable until you change the extension back. My guess is that it's one of the bajillion fake ISOs floating around that's actually an installer for a cracked copy of GTA3 or something.

I scanned it with AVG first. And the file was suppost to be an ISO anyway. I got tired with ME and I decided to find the ISO to XP, and agian my AVG comfirmed it wasn't a virus
