Long ago I saw a list of "Windows Solutions". I had it in my sigs and now I can't find them. Fortunately, I keep my old sig file around even though I don't use it anymore (I haven't seen a tool yet that will modify the gmail sig via cron).
Anyway, here they are, so I don't forget them, hopefully google will cache them and google can find them with "Windows Solution bopolissimus" :
1. Don't use Windows
2. Stop the program and start it again
3. Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill the program in Task Manager
4. Reboot
5. Uninstall the program and reinstall it.
6. Reinstall Windows and Everything else
7. Backup, format the disk, install windows, reinstall everything else, restore your data.
to be fair, you sometimes need to do all of these (or the transliteration) for other operating systems, and #2, #3, #4 aren't so common anymore in XP. But they're still much more common there than in Linux. All that spaghetti inside is turning into much and Windows is turning more and more into a big pile of mud (if I may be allowed to mix metaphors)
