Is this still a glitchy, buggy pile of pants or has it now been patched into oblivion? Pete.

Invalid Data.

Ordered one too. Nice one!

I've just gone to add a new contact to my list and discovered that it has been flooded with all my Facebook contacts! Can I turn this option off without removing the Facebook link from my Live account? This is really annoying as I now have over 300 contacts, surely this can be turned off...

Happy to be here :p

Another thing worth mentioning. I have the Radeon 5850 and was having problems with Borderlands. It was fine for maybe 15 mins, then slowed right down and bombed, usually taking the whole PC with it. On the 1 occasion I got back to Windows, my RAM usage was at 97%. I tried going from driver 10.7...

I managed to fix mine by going to Add/Remove Programs, selecting Office and clicking Change. Then I used the repair option. Pete.

This just happened to me yesterday. Office 2007 was updated with SP1 and my Word and Publisher icons have been replaced with generic icons. Excel and the rest are not affected. The icons for these 2 programs have been replaced on the taskbar and also the start menu too. Pete.
