Whenever I try to do a ipconfig /flushdns command I get the following
message

"Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during
execution?"

How can I trace what is wrong and get rid of it?
 
Hi
It is kind of a funny situation if the DNS Service is Not On there need to
flush it either. :D

That's right, but do you always remember what you intentionally disabled
in the past ;-)

Hi
No I do not but remember at all because I deal with all OS since Win2000 on
many computers.
I keep on each computer a small txt file in special maintained folder that I
created.
When I install the OS I use this free program,
http://www.softwaregeek.com/download/serviwin.html
Select all the Services in the Action menu, and save them by Save Selected
in the Save entry under the File menu.
It enables to save a very clean file with the status of all the Services in
a plain text file.
Every time when I make a change to a Service (it usually not very often), I
record the event with the date next to the Service in question in the text
file.
Windows Native Services view has something like this to, but it is not
saving the list as neatly as the above.

Thank you very much for that tip. From now on I will use that tool.
