One of my XP Pro workstations just up and decided that it won't print to a
TCP port that it has been using for quite some time. It uses the same printer
driver as other workstations etc. and it still prints to other network
printers. Other XP Pro, 2003 servers, and Vista ...

This just started to happen:  Quite often when I'm booting, I get a
blue screen and at the top, it says: Please wait.........
the 'periods' keep appearing until the screen goes away and my PC
continues to boot.  What could be causing this and how do I correct it?

Thank you;

Sys Restore is, I think, supposed to automatically establish a check point
each day. Many days don't have checkpoints of any kind, most others only
checkpoints  inserted by cleanup programs, etc. The PC is on continuously at
least 9 hours/day.

I tried to post a question by selecting on the "New Post" using IE6.
All the page does is refresh!  I am unable to post any new questions.

Some of you recommended an UltraVNC for me.  I want to be able to
access my PC from anywhere in the world over the Internet (my PC will
be unattended by anyone).  What is an UltraVNC and how do I go about
setting it up?

All 6 of my USB ports have stopped working. Device manager reports all
healthy and have proper driver. I have done a reformat and a clean install
and nothing works. When I plug in a USB device (such as a wireless mouse or
thumb drive) the computer freezes.

Initially, when I clicked a *.wmv file to play with WMP-10, the video portion
would freeze on the first frame and the audio would play through.  Stopping
the video or closing the app would result in a total system hang (no keyboard
response and a beep on the first mouse click).
