Re: Where is the Ultranav Tab in my Control Panel? Want it back!
I just went through a royal battle with Ultranav drivers on my old A31p machines, using XP -- some machines on SP2, some on SP3. I have had three Ultranav external keyboards for several years, and one of them, the travel keyboard, was starting to get sticky keys. Wanted to replace it. I found that ...

Re: X1 Carbon Gen 9 vs X13 Gen 2 keyboard?
There is one key difference: the X1 Carbon has a full-width keyboard, but the X13 has a narrow keyboard which has no dedicated Insert key (it is shared with End). That is VERY important, and I'll look more closely at the photos before buying. Thank you! EDIT: And it looks as if the SSD is easy to u...

Many Recovery sets consist of more than one CD/DVD disks, or a collection of .cue/.bin and .iso files. Is there any way to combine all of those into one single image/iso, which could then be installed onto a bootable USB key? There is. I forget the names - I got it via Reboot.pro forums long back. ...
