    try to compile and run this code:

    #include < stdio.h >
    int main(void) {
    printf("12\t\b\b");
    printf("12\t\b\b");
    return 0;
    }

    you should run it on the new console (from explorer for example) don't forget to save your data before it :) With the best regards, Vitaly.

      This was discussed at length yesterday - I've found that it crashes the first time, actually. It only crashes W2000, and I'm told XP. Christian After all, there's nothing wrong with an elite as long as I'm allowed to be part of it!! - Mike Burston Oct 23, 2001

              I would like to know why this crashes W2K. Is seems like a easter egg gone awry.

                the \b in the printf statement are back spaces. my guess is that the implementation moves an internal pointer back 1 place each time one of these is processed by the run time library. This pointer is left pointing at kernel memory and the next printf starts writing there. :eek: Goodbye Windows p.s. It takes XP down as well
