I cant get my Print Screen button to copy things anymore. I hit the button and go to Paint like I've done a million times before in the past 4 or so years, but now when I hit Ctrl-V..nothing comes up. I can right click to get the menu bar, but the Paste choice cant be highlighted. Anybody know what's going on?

Hi all, I've just upgraded 2 PC's from XP Home to XP Pro. Now, when the users double click IE (6) on their desktop, IE doesn't launch, but a shortcut to IE is created on the desktop. This happens as many times as the users double click the IE icon. Any ideas ? Many thanks. Regards Colin.

Has anyone experienced the following behavior with IE6? Two PCs on same LAN, one newer then the other but both with XP SP2 and with an ADSL connection. Automatic Updates works fine on both PCs. But the older PC has trouble with manual Windows Updates in IE6 (Tools>Windows Updates), it fails with the standard DNS error page at various points before getting to selecting updates pages. Took the PC back to my office and it works fine on my ADSL (differnet router and ADSL modem). The newer PC works fine in the original office as well. Only the older PC has the problem. Have disabled Norton IS, Windows and the ADSL firewalls. Have added MS update sites to Tr…

I'm running small business server/server 2000. Every morning I come in and change out the backup tape. 10 minutes after I put in the new backup tape, it spits it right back out. I've tried different tape, but it spits them all back out. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it?

I know there is always a lot of opinions when it comes to disk partitioning schemes, but I would like to get some advice from those who know. If I were to put an extra drive in our web designer's computer and ask him to save all his files to that, wouldn't there be a significant delay since everything needs to be copied to the new drive? I'm not just talking about moving a huge number of files. Things as simple as downloading from the web to working with PhotoShop scratch disks are all going to take place on the primary drive, right? So if he needs to download images from a site, he will have to move them manually to the secondary drive. I thought about put…

I've a CD game from 1996, running on Vista Home Prem.. The game runs fine, but I can not ALT-TAB between the game and any other program running. I can still Cntl+ALT+Del to work around this, but once I close out of the Task Manager, it goes back to the game. Is there any way to set the aplication properties to allow program switching? -Randall

If selling a windows xp disk and laptop(bought separately) how do i deregister my name with windows before selling -- Kenny

When I try to explore a large folder using the explore function (e.g. my music in iTunes), my system is only showing me a portion of the folder, not the entire list. I know the music is there because I can play it in iTunes; I just can't find the files using the explore function. Any idea what is causing this and how I can correct the problem? I recently put in a new hard drive on my XP machine and transferred all the data onto the new hard drive. I had no problems viewing all the folders before the new hard drive.

I am using windows xp home, i had a virus on pc which was caught by anti virus software, but when I went back to desktop instead of my picture being their it was a blank screen with just desktop icons.

I recently added 512MB of Ram which seems to be fine, but discovered all USB devices quit working, while trying to resolve found that device manager shows no devices, any thoughts/soultions would be greatly appreciated.

Just installed a new dual layer optical drive. Works as expected accept one thing. I can't erase/reformat a DVD+R DL RW disc? I've always been able to do so with a single layer, 4.7 Gb DVD RW disc. I use Nero 7. Nero will erase/reformat a 4.7Gb DVD+R RW but not a dual layer. My guess is the answer is basic. I just don't know it. Please help. Thanks, Bob

In my less than saavy computer days, I installed "Norton System Works Utilities 2003". When I recently tried to uninstall the software, I get a message similar to: "Uninstall log file not valid or data has been corrupted. Uninstall will not continue." Granted, this has not caused any harm or problems with the computer, but I'd like it off of there. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
