I wanted to use the Poolmon utility in accordance with the instructions in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177415, but I cannot copy out the result of
Poolmon from the Command Prompt window, as the Select All command in the
Command Prompt window does not work.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you

On my WinXP machine

1) Go to the MSDOS (Command Prompt) window, and do "Select All"
from the popup menu. Right-click and the menu should show up.
2) Now, with the color of the screen reversed (black letters on white
background), click the right-mouse one more time. Just click it,
don't hold it. You're not interested in the menu. Right-clicking
in the window seems to be enough. The screen will change back to
white letters on a black background (it looks un-selected then).
3) Go to Notepad and do a "Paste" there. With some luck, the contents
of the MSDOS window will be copied.

Thanks, Paul! I have everything working exactly as you wrote, but only when
the MSDOS window is the result of other commands (not the result of
Poolmon). When in the MSDOS window is the result of Poolmon and I do Select
All, it changes only the color of the FIRST LINE, the color becomes yellow.
My further actions puts on the Clipboard only this line. I do not understand
how to put on the Clipboard the next lines (and there may be several hundred
of them).

Thanks

"When using Poolmon.exe you should ensure that you use the /n switch to log
the data to a file.

A list of the switches and syntax for Poolmon.exe can be found on

Possibly redirection works, e.g. poolmom "switches" > c:\poolmonlog.txt

Where the switches are whatever you specify. This should create a file named
"c:\poolmonlog.txt" that contains the output from the command and that can
be opened and examined etc. in Notepad.
