Just arrived in the mail - latest issue full of tips.
Final feature block on page 97 says "Find ANSWERS AT PCWORLD.COM"
The first querie caught my eye, as I am needing help with this issue - "Wondering how to open old programs in Windows 7?"
After browsing thru several pages of topics, no luck.
So up to the search box, and type in "how to open old programs in Windows 7" and guess what?
Nothing found.
Go figure.....

Hi fishgirl and welcome to the forums. You should have seen something like: find.pcworld.com/70006 , if so, if you put it in your browser bar it should to take you to it ( you might have to add www. in front of that line though to read; www.find.pcworld.com/70006 ; That is not the one you were looking for, just and example ).

I have generally found that finding stuff on the PCWorld site is kind of like searching for the gold at the end of a rainbow. This is especially true of the site's (and forum's) search function.

As a result, I tend to resort to Google searchs by using "site:www.pcworld.com" as one of the parameters. Using what you were looking for and that parameter, I get this:

http://www.pcworld.c..._windows_7.html

Don't know if that helps.
