I'm getting ready to transfer files from an XP Media Center 2005 computer to Windows Vista. The Vista Upgrade Advisor told me several programs had to be uninstalled including the Interactive Training. I found out how to do it with a cd but this computer is OEM and I only have restore discs which apparently don't have the SBSL\Setup.exe file on them. Is there a way to uninstall without the cd, or will it just not transfer to the new Vista machine?

I use Powerpoint 2003. I am trying to edit the colors for hyperlinks and followed hyperlinks within a presentation.

I recently installed a Sony DVD RW (Model DRU-840A) in my Dell 4550. According to Best Buy and Sony this DVD is a plug&Play device. However, whenever I boot my machine I'm getting a message that "New Hardware" has been installed, then i get the window to locate and load the driver. There is no driver, it's a plug and play unit. Is there anyone that can help me resolve this issue with the pop-up appearing every time i start the computer. OH, the DVD is working. I can copy files to it using Nero 8.

I have a PC running Windows XP SP2 with all patches updated. Every so often one of more of my secondary drives just disappears.It disappears suddenly while I am working on the PC. At first I thought it was a problem with a Maxtor drive I have in my PC, then I noticed that it also does it with a Seagate drive. Now I am suspecting that it might be a Windows XP or hardware problem. Help, any suggestions on how I can troubleshoot or any suggestions on what could be causing this problem, what to do to fix it? Thanks and Regards, Ted M.
