String theoretic resolution of classical spacetime singularities is discussed. Particular emphasis is on the use of brane probes, and the connection [1] of the enhancon phenomenon [2] to the n=2* Pilch-Warner flow spacetime [3]. Some comments and details on the singularity of the PW spacetime are added. For the proceedings of Strings 2001, Mumbai, India
