If error occurs when copying the copy process aborts?
by Guest Pheasant PluckerĀ®- 4 replies
- 207 views
Hi there, I have been trying in vain to do a file-by-file copy of a complete hard disk to a directory on my server as I wish to take a machine off-line for good but want to keep a complete backup of its files in a non-compressed format. This sounds good in theory but in practice of during the copy process an error occurs (something that I would class as non-critical) the whole copy process aborts. Is there an easy way to do a complete file copy from one machine to another (I am even thinking of the old XCopy days from MS-DOS here). -- Thanks & regards, -pp-

Screen Image Vibrates
by Guest Pivco- 8 replies
- 334 views
I would like to know why the image on my screen vibrates. Here's the details: I have a new monitor and a new computer with XP Pro. When I play games, sometimes the image on the screen will vibrate. This only happens with games, but it happens with lots of games. Some examples: The windows games Freecell, Hearts, Solitaire and Spider Solitaire and also a backgammon game that I bought separately. Some history: The same thing happened with my previous computer - which is why I bought a new one. The previous computer had XP Home. When installing the new computer, I backed up all of my data and scanned it for viruses before putting it on the new computer.…

by Guest Jonathan Pray- 1 reply

I have a PC running XP Pro SP2 that is only used to record video from security cameras. This box is a replacement for an older system that died due to hardware failure, and is only a few months old. I loaded a clean copy of XP Pro SP2 when I got it to get rid of all the extra apps that came on it. On several occasions, I found the box completely shutdown and powered off. Checking the event logs, 5 of the 7 shutdowns all happened at the EXACT same time...12:00:04 AM on 6/25/08, 7/2/08, 7/10/08, 7/23/08, and 7/30/08. The other 2 failed (6/16/08 and 7/31/08).
