Sorry Marie,
I assumed wrongly the OS you're using.
There will be a Win2K newsgroups who can point to similar sites, I'm sure.

XP and Win 2K are closely related but I wouldn't recommend trying the file
without emailing
their support first.
It may just be *Windows*, not necessarily anything more.

An updated virus scan should take care of anything major.
Online scans are available from
Trend Micro - Free online virus Scan
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

McAfee Security - FreeScan
http://www.mcafee.com/myapps/mfs/default.asp

I had a quick look in Win2K MSKB but nothing relevant showed itself.
Good luck
Chek
