    Windows 7 Setting screen.

    When I had my AmigaOne and Wndows XP machine connected via KVM it all worked perfectly. Have you installed the correct, latest drivers in XP ?

    Hard drive

    The entire point of my post was to point out that large drives can be purchased relatively cheaply not to endorse Seagate. I didn't even look at the manufacturer. Having said that, I generally use Western Digital But I've recently had a newish 1Tb WD drive giving constant bad block errors...

    Firefox Sync

    Yup. Very similar to how we do it in Linux. Linux has no registry. Config files are in DOT folders in "Home" (hidden though, press alt H to reveal) Simply rename the current .mozilla folder to .BAKmozilla (or whatever) and copy over your old config folder. You can see in this screeny...

    Download from YouTube

    +1 for Audacity To rip from Youtube I usually use http://www.video2mp3.net/ But it appears to be doing something weird lately. [Edit] Must've been a glitch in the Matrix as I've just "Test" ripped Split Enz - Dirty Creature from YouTube and it's working ok again.

    Google Search

    I'm not quite sure what you mean when you say "They stopped allowing Google Toolbar to be used" as I'm running the latest release and it's included in that. Maybe it needs to be turned on in Firefox's prefs ? You could also set the Home page to Google so when you open a new tab - There...

    eBay thumbnails not showing

    I'm no Firefox expert and haven't googled anything but that sounds as if Automatic Cache management has somehow been turned off. Here's a quick little vid I just did to show you where it lives. http://youtu.be/jxV0pSPxA9g

    IDE HDD at deaths door, how to fix?

    If the HD is not spinning up quick enough at boot to be recognised then go into the BIOS and set a "wait state" of about 3 seconds. You can also use a live Linux cd to extract data off the drive if need be but you might have to issue a force mount command if you have had to do a "Dirty...

    Win 7 keeps asking for activation, then resets

    What AronSearle told you is 100% correct. Just ring up Microsoft and they will ask for the key. If it's a Retail version they will re-activate. They might even re-activate an OEM version. The only way you'll find out is ring them up.
