| 2010-01-20 | Charles | Searchung within folders - | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Many thanks. I guess I was looking for something under ORGANIZE, when there was a separate SEARCH upper right all along. |
| 2009-09-21 | Kristen | Multibooting XP (Vista Preinstalled) | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you! I had already partitioned the hard drive and formatted it for XP. After many frustrating attempts we finally got to the install screen to install XP, but it still couldn't install properly. As a last resort we formatted the whole drive and got rid of Vista completely. So far this seems to have worked. Good thing I didn't care about keeping Vista! :) |
