you use a USB keyboard you should probably create a profile on your PC that

reason is many newer computers lack PS/2 ports, which are the round ports for
keyboards and mice.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>These are fine
and replacing one of them won’t make a difference, but USB devices are
different.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You need to get all the
way into Windows before the drivers are loaded and, in the case of unexpected
failure, you won’t get back into Windows if you need to type in a
password.</FONT></P>

and the old one still works just plug the new one into a USB port while the PC
is on.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Those are hot pluggable and

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=4>For a last quick
tip, we’ve mentioned System Information for Windows (SIW) as a handy tool for
determining exactly what hardware is in your computer, but it can do far
more.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It can uncover hidden
passwords using the Eureka utility (Tools/Eureka), it can pull passwords you’ve
saved and forgotten for websites out of the Registry (Secrets) and software keys
(Licenses).</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=4>Since Internet
Explorer and many programs like Outlook Express and Panda will retain your
passwords you likely have set them and forgotten them soon after.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Before a format and reload or hard drive
replacement it’s important to have all the information you need to reinstall
your important software, set up your email etc. and SIW will help greatly with
that chore.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>You might want to do it
now, before catastrophe strikes, so you have the information on hand in an
emergency.</FONT></P>

printer that quit printing 2<BR>days ago and it gives the following error

that are disabled. Open<BR>your Control Panel and double click on
Administrative Tools. Double<BR>click on Services and scroll down through
the list for Remote<BR>Procedure Call (RPC). Double click that, set the
Startup type as<BR>Automatic and click the Start button if it isn't grayed

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=4>Scroll back up and
do the same thing for Print Spooler, then<BR>reboot the PC. That should
set both services to start with Windows<BR>and fix the problem.<BR
