The Windows Live Search has gotten another overhaul now, and they’ve taken a little bit of a different slant on what their home page looks like as you can see from the screen shot.

I’ve stepped him through the basics of using the Inbox Repair tool and using the original install discs as a repair option, but he came across a site that does a great job of giving you loads of […]

I’ll be honest, one of the toolbars I don’t use or have installed even is the MSN toolbar. I never did like the MSN interface back when I had MSN as my ISP on dial-up. Hated their browser navigation interface. I’d always make the connection with their program and then use the default Internet […]
