When I used the bluescreen screensaver from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Miscellaneous/BlueScreen.mspx It wont show up even after the past the time the screensaver should show up.

Hi For some time now (a couple of months) one of my PCs has been intermittently losing it's ability to resolve DNS names. I have 3 other machines on the same network all configured to use my wireless router as primary DNS server and they are working faultlessly so I'm (reasonably) confident it is an issue with the PC and not my router or ISP. I can work around the problem by restarting the DNS Client Service and the inconvenience is not enough to merit a rebuild just now but I would like to try and understand what is causing the problem in the first place. Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what might be wrong or steps I could take to try and narrow it dow…

Would like to write batch file to copy all TXT files in a given directory and all subdirectories to a single target directory. I would like to write a batch file to copy all TXT files in a given directory and all subdirectories to a single target directory. This is so that I can select them all at once in an application. I have used xcopy to make batch files in the past, and I know what to do if I wanted the tree structure maintained in the target, but I don't. I want all files to be in a single directory. Any help most welcome. Thanks. Rob

I need your help in understanding how to format and reinstall Windows XP Professional. My friend Jon has limited funds and needs to be able to do this himself. I cannot help him by going there because he lives too far away. I have a dual-boot with 98 Second Edition for old Dos games and applications on a C:\ drive while having Windows XP Professional as my D:\ drive for regular business and most current games and programs like Itunes. I know it is easy in 98 Second Edition to go into DOS and format and then use the start up disk and reinstall the operating system. How is this accomplished in XP Professional. I have had to do an overinstall of XP Pr…

Printing spool problem
by Guest Ramesh- 2 replies

HI, I use an HP Laserjet printer on WinXP Prof. When i fire a print job, i can see the job in the queue but it does not print. The only way i found to print that job, is to restart the system. When the system reboots and i log on, then the job gets printed. what could be the problem? Now the strange thing is that sometimes it prints fine without a restart. Thanks for any support. Ramesh
