"If all else fails, read the manual"

This page contains answers to common questions that people ask me, along with some tips and tricks that I have found useful and presented here as questions.

Note: In these answers I will follow a few shorthand conventions for describing user-interface procedures. Key combinations will be presented like this: Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which means that you should press and hold down the Control key, the Alt key, and the Delete key at the same time. Menu selections will be presented like this: File->Open, which means that you should open the File menu, and then make the Open selection. The expression x:\i386 makes reference to a folder called i386 on a removable drive where the x:\ would be replaced by the appropriate drive letter on the individual computer An example is  x:\i386 might need to be changed to d:\i386 if the local CD drive is the d:\ drive.
