Microsoft Weirdness
A friend brought me a laptop recovering from a virus sickness. She had reinstalled windows but could not get the sound card working. A bit of googling showed me that the audio driver would not install without a specific MS patch (nonstandard hardware on a panasonic tough book)
This was a generic virgin install of XP which included SP2.
The needed hotfix is not directly downloadable from MS. You have to fill out a webform and submit a request. Then they send you a link and a password via email.
Using IE6 on this brand new installation I could not submit the webform due to JS errors on the page. I had to use FF to submit the request.
