when ever i click on some links, all i get is a message saying "the file / could not be found, please check the location and try again"

i've tried running a spyware sweep, and an AV checker, but they didnt pick anything up. i'm running firefox, on winXP pro if that helps

i dont think its anything to do with my salmon ninja pirate gayer status, so anyone got any ideas?

Indeed, although the 8088 era was more DOS 3.3. Didn't do much "clicking of links" back then though, IIRC.
