Yes, if you go to the Appearances tab and select Icons from the drop down, you cant set the font size (and the font itself) there. .... and registry cleaners are frowned upon around here :-)

Printer Help--Spoolsv.exe

I am running Win/2000. I found I could not send anything to the printer and when I looked in the control panel, I found that my printer drivers all disappeared! When I tried to add one in the control panel, I received a message about no resources available. I rebooted the machine and when the machine restarted, I received this message: Program Error Spoolsv.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created. I don't know what this means or how to access the error log. Can you suggest how I can correct this problem? Many thanks.

How to stop auto-play of CD

Every time I stick a music CD (standard cda format) into my CD-ROM, it starts playing. A player control appears, but even if I X it to close it, it continues to play each track. If I right-click on the blue bar at the top of the player, I do not see an About option to identify the player. Task Manager doesn't show any application or process that may be responsible. What's doing the playing? How do I disable Auto Play? Thanks, Ray

Opera messed me up

Hello, All! After installing the Opera browser as my default web browser I decided that it was not all it was cracked up to be. I uninstalled it. Now, my IE works fine for most browsing, but if I click hyperlinks imbedded in email (I use OE) nothing happens. Some of the hyperlinks in my favorites menu also do not function. I went through the process of resetting HTM, HTML, etc. file association in Windows Explorer(> Tools> Folder Options> File Types) - or at least I think I got them all. I even re-installed IE6. It's been several years since my last Win2000 OS load, and I am planning on re-imaging my sytem next month - but I don't want to do it r…

I write a lot of Word programs (Office 2000) in which I am inserting photos, etc. Of late, I am receiving virtual memory warnings, the system saying that I am low on virtual memory, and that it is going to have to increase same. My programs are not terminated, however. I have a 200 gig hard drive (C:) with 260 MB of RAM. There is 87% free space, and my Word files are only a few meg, or so, in size. Virtual memory on my C drive is set for 400-450 MB. I read in the HELP section that the pagefile.sys should preferably not be located on the same drive with other system files. Since I have another hard drive (E: 4 gig free), I set up a file on that drive (450…

Is there a way to increase the character limit of the "Interactive logon: Message text for users attempting to log on"? We're in a Win2K/2003 mixed domain. I don't think it's possible, but thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks!
