Hi ...
When I launch a DVD in windows, a dvd player comes up.  I was trying to do a
screen-grab using ALT-PRT.SCRN combo.
But the paste turns out blank in my graphics app.

I've just bought a 'new' PC with XP pre-installed.
It had been sold previously and returned but Windows seems to have been
registered to the previous people.
1, will this cause a problem with other software (Office?)

My filenames have disappeared in my thumbnail window. Does anyone know how to
get them to re-appear????

My system clock as I write this is 00:21 16/01/2004.  Yet, when this comes
back it is time stamped 8 hours before it is sent.
Any ideas please?

During the boot up (before Windows kicks in) I get a message "Primary IDE
channel No80 conductor cable installed"
What does this mean please (and I appreciate that this is not, properly, a
Windows query)

Is there a difference between news.microsoft.com and msnews.microsoft.com?
Which should I use?
I originally set the server as news.microsoft.com but some of the Microsoft
web links cause msnews.microsoft.com to be used.

I appreciate in advance that my question is a general one and not directly
related to Windows XP but I cannot find a relevant NG to place this query.
When I subscribe to new Newsgroup all headers and/or messages submitted from

When I try to download anything, I get an error message saying that I timed
