Weirdest Tech problem ever!
Published (2009-11-30 11:46:00)
It sounds like part of your problem is your bootloader being on the old disk - which you could repair by booting off the DVD and using the "repair my computer" options (either the automatic repair or manually via the recovery console). However, not booting from the DVD sounds like it may be a BIOS issue. Check your BIOS config and make sure the optical drive is enabled, and try booting the machine with neither HDD attached...

Windows 7: Icon Bug

Have a weird problem, it's nothing serious and I'm not even that bothered but I'm curious why it's happening. The icon of Malwarebytes Anti Malware sometimes goes blank. (MBAM) Like this,

Right click not working.
Published (2009-12-01 12:34:00)
Just reinstalled the drivers there and no joy. All the other mouse buttons work fine and if I assign the "right click" function to another of the mouse buttons using the "Microsoft Mouse" application (it's a Microsoft mouse), nothing happens. i.e. I apply new settings and they are displayed as being changed but the mouse behaves as before. Upon closing and re-opening the application it has reverted to...

windows 7 administrator annoyance
Published (2009-11-29 21:47:00)
As already mentioned, you can disable UAC to return security to XP levels but this can leave the system wide open to malware. Just be careful if you go down that road, keep away from dodgy websites.

Published (2009-11-27 09:13:00)
It was the application compatibility toolkit that you saw me demoing. Make sure you check out the database to see if there's already a shim for your app(s). I'll hopefully be organising a Windows User Group event on the subject in the new year.

XP Home and XP pro are very different when it comes to logon
try again in safe mode
try loging in as adminstrator with no password
then run system restore to roll things back a week or so when it was all OK

Hello, there;
Yeah, I was browsing for possible upgrading problems with my Medion pc and Windows 7. It occured to me that it's been a while since I registered with my code, paid with my cred card etc. and still haven't received the upgrade CD...
...Like you, I checked my cred card and no fee has been taken! Hmmm?
I never thought about it at the time, but I didn't receive a confirmation ...

Did the other mouse work in the PC?
It sounds like a driver issue, you could try installing the drivers again or even get another type mouse and install the drivers for that.

I wouldn't try and backport an unsupported browser onto an OS; your better bet might be to use a virtual machine. If it's Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate on your dad's machine, you can use Windows XP Mode (see here for details). Alternatively you may be able to install Virtual PC 2007 and manually set up a virtual machine with Windows XP/Vista and IE7 for him to use (though you'll need to ...

From your example, you presumably want to exclude joiner words such as "is, as, the, on, an, it", etc from being capitalised?
Easy enough for a perl script to do. You could hack some vbscript together to do it as well.
This may help:

Format the disk and reinstall xp from scratch. You could create a Data partition on the disk and copy all your files that you want to keep in there. You should download all the drivers your laptop will need before doing anything though, it'll save any headaches after installing xp.

"Disabling Auto Arrange and Align to Grid is not available in Windows Explorer windows. As a result, users can no longer manually arrange items via drag and drop within a folder; this feature is only available on the desktop."
