Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:80042301

The Problem:- I have Windows XP professional SP1 With updates up to about 8 months ago. I have been using the scheduled backups to copy to a 2nd physical drive for more than 2 years without problems. Ten days I received the message “Error returned while creating the volume shadow copy:80042301" The backup program did not finish properly.

Start WordPad the Way You Want

The Problem:- The wordpad program defaults to arial font for every new document. Instead of having to change each document to my desired font type - times new roman - can I change a setting somewhere that will cause the program to automatically use times new roman upon execution.
