Most of us will have at least one piece of Microsoft software on our computers. Getting hold of information on using it, keeping your software updated and getting your hands on the latest security updates, patches and drivers can have you running around in circles. The Microsoft website is packed with all of this essential information and more but, if you've ever tried using it, you'll know that it's not always easy to put your finger on what you're looking for in a timely fashion.

To make things easier, here's Computeractive's essential guide to finding what you want on Microsoft's support websites. |

"And everybody already has Win XP and IE6 (Unless you have Linux or Mac). " Or Windows 95/98/ME, WinNT, Win2K. Windows Xp is only(only?) running about a third of the machines on the Internet. The rest are running (in no particular order) Windows 9X, WinNT, Win2K, *Nix, Mac. This actually isn't a bad guide. It's certainly on the basic side, but I've already sent copies to my parents in an effort to prevent the twice weekly tech support calls from hell. |
