    Will You Upgrade to Windows 8?

    I should be more thorough with my thoughts, I tried Windows 8 once at a friend's house and while I don't think Metro looks bad, it's certainly jarring to maneuver through it in conjunction with the old windows explorer. It makes Windows 8 feel like two totally different OSes on top of each...

    Windows 7 September 14th Black Mesa day!

    Silly me, I didn't see the post was from last year. I though the September date was for the complete game.

    Windows 7 Baffling problem with no upload speed on Windows 7

    Good news, I was able to fix it. I'm not sure exactly what the problem was though. Before the problem started, I had installed Ubuntu on drive E and I stupidly replaced the boot stuff on drive C (the main one with Windows), with whatever Ubuntu uses. A couple of days later, when I noticed the...

    Windows 7 Baffling problem with no upload speed on Windows 7

    I had already tried the manufacturer's drivers, but I decided to give it another go with all the different downloads for Win7 and no luck. I also went ahead and browsed the Windows Update Catalog for a couple of random old drivers and they still have the same problem.

    Will You Upgrade to Windows 8?

    The Metro crap really bothers me, but considering you can regain Win 7 behavior with a few programs, I don't think it's a big deal. And even though there might not be that much new stuff, I might upgrade if only for the under-the-hood additions (performance, stability, responsiveness, security...

    Windows 7 My games keep Bringing me back to the desktop screen:(

    Does the start menu pop-up when the games minimize? If so, try using another keyboard to make sure it's not a mechanical problem with the keyboard activating the Windows button. Even if that's not the case though, try using another keyboard just to make sure. Otherwise I suppose some other...

    Windows 7 September 14th Black Mesa day!

    I tried the half game demo that came out a few months ago and it was great. I was really impressed with everything. They made a few changes here and there, but nothing major and for the most part, logical. Let's hope they can keep that release date though.

    Windows 7 Baffling problem with no upload speed on Windows 7

    The problem I'm having is that, even though I have normal download speed, my upload speed is almost non-existent. I've been using this custom built PC for about 2 years now. I'm not sure exactly when the problem started either cause for the most part, websites and programs were working (except...
