File copy help
by Guest phavel- 3 replies
- 286 views
Hi, I need some suggestions for solving a file copy problem. I essentially need to watch multiple directories for new files, and copy any new files to a common destination. The directories I need to watch are in the same top level folder, but are in different sub folders. Any 3rdparty tools or scripting ideas that might make this easy and scalable (the number of source directories will continue to grow). Thanks.

Configuring Fax
by Guest scGram- 3 replies
- 238 views
We recently changed our phone service to Broadband with our cable company (who also supplies the broadband cable connection for our computer) I can no longer send a fax. Tech Support told me that I need to configure the fax program to send as "DATA" for sending instead of sending as a phone fax. I can't find where to do this. I am using the fax utility that is installed with Windows XP Home .... Can someone tell me where to change this information? Thanks -- Dori ... -----------------------------------------------

System is WinXP Pro SP2 with all latest updates. and Tweak UI is v2.10.0.0. Has MS intentional broken this feature and if so is there away to make it work again? Thanks.

by Guest Zerosum- 6 replies
- 295 views
I was having problems viewing separately downloaded Chinese subtitles in avi files. I finally managed to solve that problem using BSPlayer. But that's not what I'm asking for help with here. There's something I don't understand. I downloaded the Chinese subtitles from a Chinese website. The subtitle filetype is .srt. However, when I open the subtitle file in Notepad, all I see are lines of nonsense characters that look like this: ÕâÊÇÄãÃÇÄܼ¯ºÏµÄ°®ºÃ But when I open the same srt subtitle file in Word, I get a File Conversion options window asking me to choose one of the following: 1 Windows (Default) 2 MS-DOS 3 Other encoding (choose…

Re: Contacts & Signatures Won't Stick I can't get Contacts and more than one Signature to stick in WLM 14.0.5027.0908 Beta, using XP SP3. Each time I exit WLM they disappear. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Is it a known bug in WLM 14.0.5027.0908 Beta? Does anyone have something smart to say on this problem? -- DSH Lux et Veritas et Libertas Vires et Honor

My computer spontaneously restarts while I'm in the middle of checking email, or drafting a Word document, or whatever. For a split second a blue screen appears with words on it and disappears so quickly I can't read it. THen the computer restarts. I've lost whatever I'm working on but everything else is fine.
