I quite quickly installed Ubuntu instead (no dual boot), but now I've found out that the school I'm going to attend to requires me to run...

I have read many of the forum posts regarding custom favicons not appearing as shortcut. I understand how to change an icon but I used to be able to drag a web address to my desktopp and have it appear as the custom favicon of that site. Notebook was restored by IBM and now dragging or any other method I have read in forum has solved the issue. Any thoughts? If I want to create a custome icon...

Hi. This week when I tried to install Office 2007 SP2, it would not install because of an UNKNOWN\Components\number1\number2 key. In RegEdit I tried to find 'unknown' and the first 8 characters of the number1 but they cannot be found. Now I've removed Office the hard way, because uninstall also would not work because of that key and tried to fresh install it. But still I get an error...

Good Morning, I am unable to get Vista to recognize drivers for my Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 in a non-RAID capacity. It's a SATA drive and I am of the understanding that these cause similar problems fairly frequently. In most cases about which I have read, the issue has been solved by choosing the "load driver" option during Vista installation and manually selecting a SATA driver from a driver...

When attempting to install Office XP from original disc (previously used on an older computer) on new Vista computer, "Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable" was encountered.

It took a few days, but I was able to move my installation from a SATA drive to a new RAID Array. Without re-installing or loading RAID drivers from floppy!
