Windows: Cannot team Broadcom NetXtreme adapters. Please select an adapter with NDIS 6 driver error.
This is most likely caused by software firewall, such as Symantec EndPoint Protection or Vipre Enterprise. Disabling them usually won’t help either. You will have to uninstall the firewall and then attempt to team your adapters. If that didn’t work uninstall both firewall and BASP, install BASP, team and then reinstall your firewall.

Windows: Windows Media Player encountered a problem creating or saving the playlist.
Might probably happen in other situations too, but my situation was that I did not want to add a folder to my Music Library to avoid having WMP sift through tons of untagged stuff… and deleted my default folders. Therefore WMP did not have a default location to save the playlists to.
Simply add a default location. Good luck.

Windows: Add, change, upgrade or remove your RAID controller without having to lose any data or start with a fresh OS install
Scenario:
- You have single or multiple drives using your motherboard IDE, SATA or internal software RAID and want to add a RAID controller to your system.
- Your drives are connected to a RAID controller. You are either trying to use a different card or give it up for an onboard controller.
but you rather keep your current OS installation, applications and files. You require no new OS installtion. All you have to do is to connect the RAID controller to your motherboard and power up the system, install the drivers and introduce it to your OS and restart. Once the card is visible to the OS simply image your current operating system, create your RAID arrays and restore the image to the active partition of your array. You can now boot from the new controller without having to do anything else.
I tested this once with Ubuntu and it didn’t work. Not sure about different distributions, though.

Windows: Error opening installation log file. Verify that the specified log file location exists and is writable
I got around it by creating a new administrator account. Log on/off the new admin account and try the install task again.

Windows: Cannot uninstall or upgrade Windows Search 3.x
Start – Run – paste the following line there and hit OK:
%systemroot%\$NtUninstallKB917013$\spuninst\spuninst.exe
This should bring up the hidden uninstaller.
