Of course, we did, as most Windows systems will have some stopped services. ![]() The tech scammer then had us open the Services tab in the System Configuration interface and tell us if we saw any services in a "Stopped" state. This brought up the Windows System Configuration interface. He instructed us to go to the Start menu and type in "msconfig," then hit Enter. ![]() ![]() The aforementioned Indian chap was polite and helpful, and told us that we needed to upgrade our version of Windows.
