As the topic says this is in no way Nav related just a small piece of advice for all PC users.
Nearly every day some bugger asks me why their computer isn't working, of course most of the time it's not their fault it's not working because they didn't do anything but thats a different story. For those people who aren't tech savvy, before your next call to tech support is required download a copy of Everest Downloads | Lavalys.com (for a one off run to get the info the evaluation version should be sufficient but obviously follow the rules after the first run if you plan on keeping it).
With the details this program generates (in a text or html file) about your PC, your tech support guru should be able to see at a glance exactly what is in your machine and any possible conflicts as well as what's inside the box. It wont fix the problem and but it will assist in the repair and maybe even save you a few bucks if your paying hourly repair rates. It's also a handy tool for those people who've brought new machines to make sure they get exactly what they ordered.
Of course for those doing tech support they might already have come across this or something similar but if they haven't it's something that should definitely get stuck on the USB drive on your keyring.
Ok back to Nav'ing I've done my community service for today.
