    Hi,

    I have Windows XP. I attempted to flush DNS: Start > Run> cmd > ipconfig/flush. It wouldn't work. I received a message that says "Could not flush the DNS Resolver Cache: Function failed during execution."

    I ran numerous anti-virus/spyware/malware programs, some in safe mode. It
    took 5 hours but no viruses/worms/malware/adware was found on my pc. I also ran PC on Point, which checks for program problems and file fragments and eliminates them. I ran RegSeeker to clean my registry and streams, defragged, and ran Disk Cleanup. I also ran Check Disk but no problems were found.

    Then I tried ipconfig/flush again and again I received the same message.

    Is there something wrong with my programming or is the command
    incorrect/incorrect for Windows XP?

    You entered the command wrong maybe, there is a space after the g and before the /.

    Like this ipconfig /flushdns

    See if that works.
