Screen capture in dos games ?

Ant -|- One
A friend of mine asked me why he couldn't use the 'print screen' touch of the keyboard in order to get a screenshot and later to paste it in Paint or any other prog. ? Is there another way to manage this, an option to activate or disactivate ? Thanx for any hint !.

Umax Vistascan 3.76 for Windows XP

keitaro
Anyone having a UMAX scanner should note out that the version cited here is for FireWire users. That means those majority of us who own a USB scanner (ie. Astra 2100U) should NOT download this. Instead, simply go over to and download the right drivers from there.

Any computer connecting to an XP computer

BurgerRing
Whenever any computer tries to connect to one of my XP machines, it will try to logon as guest even though the account is disabled. And so it fails and comes up with a window to ask you to type the correct username and password in.

Can Win 2000 be used as a file server?

kaboom
I have a group of clients (20) that use a Win 98 machine as a file server. They also run Win98. I want to increase security for the system at a minimal cost. I want to install Win 2000 Professional on the file server and create user accounts for all of the clients.

Scripting Issue

giskard
Here's the problem: The upshot appears to be that unless i make a paid support call to Microsoft, they won't give me the file. After a little more digging, it seems that the hot fix i need is called Q307716_W2K_SP3_X86_EN.

Computer keeps restarting!?!?!

Josiah
I was playing counterstrike and when I exited, it locked up. I restarted it, started up gamespy, and walked away for a second. When I came back it was restarting. I typed my password and before I could do anything it restarted again.

overclocking questions

three
ok, finally took the plunge and decided to oc my t-bird 800mhz. somehow i'm only able to hit 900mhz at default Vcore. I tried it @ 950mhz (9. 5x100) 1. 850Vcore and it will boot up but usually freezes out on me within 10minutes of use.
