These entries were listed twice, I'm not sure if it was by design, or not...
4.8 - Tip for the Windows swap file ...(also as 9.2 )
8.2 - Game crashes then receiving a memory error message (my post page 9)...(also as 3.2 )
8.3 - Game crashes when giving/using an item (my post page 9)...(also as 3.4 )
8.4 - Game freezes when disarming chests (my post page 9)...(also as 3.8 )
8.5 - Game freezes when trying to cast a spell (my post page 9)...(also as 3.10 )

The following items could all be moved to a seperate thread.
[That way, the 'Index' acts as a filter. By the time someone gets to these posts, (on their own) they can be sure that it's the right solution.]

2.1 - How to remove DirectX 8
7.2 - How to use Virtualdub
9. Windows settings
9.1 - How to change swap file size
9.2 - Tip for the Windows swap file
9.3 - Turn on compatibility mode in win2000/XP

...8. Windows 2000/XP Issues. This one makes me curious....Are there any problems that have 2 different solutions, based on OS? If there are couldn't we add;

1.0 - 'Do you know what OS you're running?'

Then put 2 seperate links, on items, with multiple solutions.
example:
3.1 - Game crashes during Cet - Kerah fight....(2000/XP...link)...(95/98/ME...link)

And 1 last question...Is, '4.9 - TNT graphics card conflicts', is this a conflict with a certian model? I was using a TNT 2, with no problems.
