    Registry .reg files - a restore or a merge of keys?

    No they will remain but please be careful you shouldn't really mess around with the registry unless your 100% confident because if you make a mistake you could completely mess up your PC. I'm not sure why you would want to do that, ccleaner is designed to well clean up the registry and get rid...

    SPAM or little mistakes?

    TBH It's more likely to be a scam rather than spam avoid like the plague, it's a classic way of collecting your personal log in info. As a general warning for anyone even if you have an account with any bank or organisation and get a "you need to verify", "your account needs to be...

    Evolution is Wrong...interesting video

    Yes it is an interesting video however a lot of the 'facts' are fundamental flawed and some are completely wrong. I believe we are all entitled to our own opinions and beliefs but occasionally some video or article will really 'get my goat' as it were (non-brits you might have to look that one...

    The Ashes

    windows updates and sizes

    Er none :p (I know you meant hard drive :)) It all depends on the size of the update (obviously), your hard drive may decrease in size as updates are installed but you can always delete the old install files located in c:\Windows\SoftwareDistibution\Download (for Vista and Win7). I always have...

    Has NASA found (potentially) extraterrestrial life?

    Very very interesting from what I understand (and I need to do more research) but the key point is that they have discovered a microbe that can 'substitute' one element for another. In this case arsenic for phosphorus, so what's the big deal about that, well it was believed that there are 4...

    No where near in fact just looked it up Voyager 1 is approx 17,400,000,000 km away from Earth - seems like a long way? not in light years, that's 0.0018 light years :eek: Alpha Centauri system - again I looked this up the nearest star (discounting the Sun of course) is Proxima Centauri which...

    Will I be able to reinstall Office?

    Without going into licensing you should be fine iirc Office does not require online registration is simply looks for a valid key which is on the sticker :p

    Date changes when saving in Outlook folder?

    That is normal because the "Created" field refers to that exactly i.e. when the file was created and since you 'created' it that's the correct time stamp. You need to choose "Received" field. Right click on the header bar (where the fields are) and select field chooser > received and then you...

    Windows 7 + USB Transfer Rate

    That's about right if you mean 10Mb/s :p (certainly for USB v1), USB v2 claims up to 480Mb/s but in reality you'll rarely match that. There a a few factors involved that specify the actual transfer rates (hardware, BUS etc.). If you want higher transfer rates look at Firewire.

    Booting from 2nd HDD

    OK hang on a sec Ubuntu and Red Hat can be made as a bootable disk (no need to install) are you sure you want to do that? You can also run all 3 as a bootable O/S installed on the HD. :confused:

    Booting from 2nd HDD

    Which O/S? With XP you'll may run into difficulties (different hardware) that asside if you can get it to work again you'll need to install the HD into the new PC (select that drive via BIOS to boot from) or you can boot from a USB HD but it's a bit of pain and best to be avoided because you'll...

    Boot into the BIOS hit delete (usually) on the first BIOS splash screen and select from the menu boot order. change to CD/ DVD ROM first, then the HD you want to boot from. Restart with the O/S disk of choice and setup. Depends who it's for and what they want to do, surfing, e-mail etc Ubuntu...

    Adobe Air2 - anyone familiar with this?

    Not too familiar with it, it's a runtime platform btw not an O/S ;-). I'd ensure he is an administrator: XP - Control panel > user accounts Vista - Click on his picture in start bar > follow it from there (sorry long time since I have Vista) Check his system has at least SP2 as per the...
