Ma TriX 0978 Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Well, i was doing my usual Hosts.txt file update. And when i ended up doing this. My computer went crazy, wouldnt load anything at all. So i had to go to Run>>cmd>> and use DEL command to delete the hosts.txt file. It was a pain. Lucky i was able to fix it. So for those using the Hosts.txt file, I would FULLY recommend it. But if it works for you then dont load too many lines in it. Mine became over 1mb. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sickchik Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 I read up on that and couldn't quite get it to work. A tutorial would be cool. I also think a section should be devoted to requests for such things. Might eliminate alot of unnecessary posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
