The article mentions using the "Advanced" tab in the device driver
properties box. I don't get an "Advanced" tab displayed with my IDE
controllers. I do see it only on a few devices such as the USB controller
and Ehternet adapter. Why doesn't it appear on the IDE? What can I do, if
anything, to restore it?
