I've got a strange prob on my win98se machine, and I'm not sure if
Winmx 3.31 caused it. I download files to my e:\incoming\ folder, where
I keep them until I've completed download and virus checked them. I
then move them over to this drive's d: partition for future use and
storage.
I had a couple videos I wanted to complete, so I fired up winmx. When I
checked my transfers, they were missing, so I checked e:\incoming\ to
make sure it didn't somehow get deleted. The correct number of files
were present, but their names had all been changed to funky names. I
immediately fired up my Avg Plus Firewall and did a scan on the folder,
but it found nothing. I then ran a Scandisk on this drive, and was told
that one fat table backup was corrupted, then I was told that a process
had written to the drive during the Scandisk scan, so Scandisk must be
restarted. I then checked my e: drive, and all the folders, including
my incoming folder, had their names changed. I then discovered that
both my e: and d: drives were given weird volume names (neither had any
until this happened), and when I opened that drive, it too had the same
problem. A virus check on my entire machine came up perfectly clean.
Now I know this problem didn't start until after I fired up Winmx,
because I'd been in e:\incoming\ just a few seconds before launching
Winmx, and everything was correct. What has Winmx done to my drive, and
how do I fix it, if possible? Thanks for any help.
