I posted this to the IE newsgroup but no-one posted so I will try here.

I try to add a link to a folder in my favourites, for example 'Games' I try
to add http://www.wiicade.com/Home.aspx and this error message pops up:
'Unable to create <website name>:
Unspecified error'

I can however add the link to my 'Favorites' folder or any other folder that
was not copied from my old computer, for example, MSN Websites, Windows
Live, etc.

All of my folders were copied and pasted from my laptop's IE7 XP. I've used
IE7 for months with XP, I quite like the tabs. It all worked just fine.

Try exporting from your laptop to an html file, copy that to your computer,
delete the favorites on your computer, then open IE and import the favorites
from the html file.
