Hello all, I've got this sever which was originally configured some years ago. Now I want to reconfigure the RAID array on it (HP Smart Array) and apparently you need a special stand-alone CD-based utility to do it with. I have tried the HP ACU (Array Control Utility) from...

Hello: A friend of mine, who is just trying to get acquainted with his computer, managed to get all the XP desktop icons into the left upper quarter of the screen so that they are now very small and hardly readable. How to fix this? (I tried Control +, but it didn't work.) He (and I) would be...
