I recently decided to add Encarta 2009 to my collection. MS used to issue updates for it but pulled them all when they dropped support. In the case of three updates, they were only online for a couple of weeks before they were pulled. This makes them extremely difficult to find. Internet Archive has …

This is great! Thank you! I was completely unaware of this installer. I checked it out a bit and it's also available here: https://archive.org/details/tucows_252662_Pankaj_Arora_Software_s_Tumi_Cursor_PowerPack However, it is not a complete pack. I'm not even sure if a complete pack exists, but the …

I used to own a recapped BP6 in ~2004ish. I ran it as a HTPC with Win2K for about three years and never had any problems. I only replaced it because I wanted something faster.

Don't make things more complicated than necessary. Download v10.4 of Hiren's Boot CD and use Ghost to save an image onto a USB hard drive or across your network.

Does anybody happen to have a saved copy of the old version of Tom's chart that they would be willing to share? They must have updated their website and renovated the chart sometime in the last year or two. The "legacy" portion of the chart is far less useful now. For example, there's no way in heck …
