IE is supposed to remember the size of the window that it had when you last closed it, but it doesn't do it very well
New windows opened via hyperlinks can have a size dictated by the site itself, if it doesn't specify a size then the window will open in the standard small size that you're seeing. You can probably change this via the registry, but I don't think there's an easy way to set it to open in full screen, I don't recall seeing a setting anywhere in IE for it anyway although I may have missed it.
As far as I know, the default clipboard doesn't save everything that you've cut or copied. Usually it just uses a set-aside area of physical memory to store the clip data and overwrites whatever was there before. However, I did read somewhere that it does also use a temporary file with the extension '.clp', but I don't think it contains everything you've cut or copied.
Some versions of M$ Office install a more sophisticated clipboard that does remember multiple items, but again it uses memory rather than a file wherever possible and I think it only kicks in when you're using one of the Office apps.
There used to be some freeware apps around that provided a much better clipboard, they probably do offer the functions that you described. Might be worth a quick google?

Help!
On advice from an aquaintance, I downloaded Windows Live Messenger which crashed my computer.
I've only been able to restart it in 'Safe Mode with Networking' whatever that is. The result is that it now is stuck in windows Classic Style (800 x 600 resolution) with none of the XP graphics and doesn't Hibernate or Restart properly.
Any advice much appreciated.

After letting my notebook rest for a couple of days, it has returned to normal. Perhaps the System Restore has finally kicked in. For some reason IE is opening in full screen now, so there's one postive thing from this stressful episode.
@ Cycovision, thanks for the earlier advice.
Edit: Doh! Crashed again! It's back to safe mode.

eCyco or anyone l'm in desperate need of your help.My pc won't switch on.I tried to launch the TV application and a the comp tells me no card capture.So l switched off the pc using the power button(I always use the mouse to switch off).Try to switch it back on and it won't switch on.
The only thing that happens is the green & red light on the case do light up when l press the power key to switch on,but nothing at all comes on the monitor.The system does not start up at all,and when l press the power key to switch off it does not respond and l have to unpluge it from the socket.Kept trying and it eventually switched on and it said(the system failed to reboot several times and instructed me to go to BIOS,but before l could go there it was working ok.
Then l shut it down.It showed the windows is shuting down note and it froze right there and l had to unpluge it to shut down,and now it won't start,back to that problem.
Can you please help me!!!

One possibility is that you've got a broken card somewhere, and from what you said about the TV application failing to recognise the TV card, it might just be that.
So the first thing I'd do is remove the TV tuner card and see if the computer starts up without it. If the TV tuner is combined with the graphics card however, you might have a problem... The PC won't start up without a graphics card anyway unless it also has onboard graphics.
I usually advise people with this kind of problem to take the PC to a repair shop. This is simply because in order to diagnose the fault, you very often have to remove various bits one by one and replace them with known working components, the so-called 'swapping out' process.
So unless you have access to a few different components, you know what they all do and are comfortable working inside a computer, I really would take it to reputable PC repairer.

Before l forget l did remove the TV card,the 2 rams,and put the rams back and left the TV card,with no luck.
Thanx again!

Bit of a problem on my pc, when I first boot it, it posts fine (finds hd’s and all ram and that) then when I get to the windows xp loading screen there’s a loud siren noise coming from the motherboard (I think).
After playing around I noticed that I can get the siren noise to stop if I restart, enter the bios, don’t change anything but still save and exit.
Only thing I’ve done which maybe connected with the siren is that I took out the cmos battery and put it back in again (didn’t change it).
Any ideas?

When you took the battery out and put it back in , BIOS probably loaded it's default settings on the next startup. This might have set the alarms for fan speeds and temperatures. First thing to do is go into BIOS and have a look in the temperatures and alarms menu. The location of this menu varies according to the BIOS manufacturer so you'll have to hunt around.
