Troublehsooting All-In-One Vol 2

3rd Edition, Page 350: The third heading on the page should read Always Set Restore Points Before Installing New Software or Hardware
3rd Edition, Page 148: There is a reference to "the appendix" where you can find information about running processes. The appendix was not included with the book. The reason that the appendix wasn't included was that it would repeat information available on the Internet, plus the information would soon be out-of-date. To compensate, here are some web sites that list processes and services running in Windows:; ProcessLibrary.com; Task List Programs; SysInfo.Org, Startup Applications List; Startup Programs and Executables Listing
3rd edition, Page 221 2nd edition, Page 229: The web site catchacall.com is no longer owned by the same company. If you visit that web site, you'll see something about garage door openers, not a utility to detect incoming phone calls. (Unless, of course, your garage door opener uses Bluetooth and somehow interfaces with your cell phone.)

What's the Administrator's Password?: If you're the only one using your XP system, then you may be surprised to find a secret Administrator account exists when you boot into Safe Mode. Don't fret! The password for this account is blank (not set). Just don't type in anything when asked for the account's password. But do be aware that all versions of XP have this Administrator account, specifically for troubleshooting in Safe Mode.

Windows 7 and Restore Point Issues: There is an issue with Windows 7 where restarting your PC can delete all the restore points. There is a solution available on Microsoft's answers web site, though it's quite technical.
