		<description><![CDATA[Some sites or apps (mainly badly written ones) really only like to open properly in Internet Explorer. However, anyone with half a brain would  have ditched IE and set a better browser like FireFox, or my personal favourite, Chrome, as the default &#8211; which is great but can cause problems with your desktop shortcuts to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After upgrading from AVG free to AVG SBS Edition, I was having a little recurring problem with Vista&#8217;s security center telling me that AVG was turned off. On closer inspection (and rather worryingly) it was correct &#8211; the resident shield was not operational. A dig into the forums found this: Resident Shield and/or Web Shield [...]]]></description>

You can force IE8 to act like IE7 while you work on a full time fix, by just including this in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It really annoys me when they go missing, but it&#8217;s ok as there is a simple fix. If you used to have a CD or DVD drive listed under &#8216;My Computer&#8217; but the icon has just disappeared, don&#8217;t panic, just do this: 1. Fire up regedit.

		<description><![CDATA[I saw a really odd one today. A Windows Vista (basic) machine suddenly decided that it had to be reinstalled, for no reason. It just claimed that it had to be activated (which it already was) and the only way to achieve this, according to the error message, was to reinstall the entire operating system [...]]]></description>
