MICROSOFT BUG TAKES SEVEN WEEKS TO SHOW UP

By CBR Staff Writer

In what must surely qualify as one of the more bizarre bugs in Windows 95 and 98, Microsoft Corp has discovered a fault which hangs the system – but only after 49.7 days of continuous operation. According to a report on Microsoft’s web site, the fault is caused by a problem with the timing algorithm in the Vtdapi.vxd file. There is a patch available, but Microsoft suggests that users wait for the next update that contains the fix unless they are severely affected by this specific problem.
