In a startling twist for the Windows community, Microsoft's ongoing efforts to encourage users to transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11 are faltering, just as the clock ticks down to Windows 10's end of life in less than a year. As reported by StatCounter, what's shaping up as a tech drama is...
Recently, Microsoft made headlines by seemingly discontinuing the legacy Control Panel from Windows, sparking concerns and mixed reactions amongst users. However, just days after the controversial announcement, the company backtracked, opting to delete any references to the termination. This...
The Windows Control Panel is a cornerstone of the Windows operating system, remaining virtually unchanged for 39 years since its launch with Windows 1.0 in 1985. This article explores the significance of the Control Panel in the face of modernization efforts by Microsoft, particularly with the...
In a week filled with swirling rumors, Microsoft has provided clarity on the fate of one of its oldest components, the Windows Control Panel. Following a support document that suggested the Control Panel was being deprecated in favor of the Settings app, the company swiftly backtracked this...
In an ever-evolving technological landscape, software is often viewed as perishable, outgrowing its relevance in a matter of years or even months. However, a surprising number of legacy software applications are still available and, in some cases, still in use as we enter 2024. While some of...

Hello. I'm new to this forum and hope to get help. I've been running an old application since the XP days on various systems. I'm currently running it succcessfully on a W10 laptop, a W11 laptop, and it used to run on my W10 desktop. Starting yesterday, when it starts to load, it is...
On XP, I used to use programs like SweepRAM, and they would actually make a little dent in the current usage of then limited 2GB available memory.
But nowadays, what do you think, do programs like this help at all on modern systems like Windows 10?
Hi all,
When I try to print things in various programs, the print dialog box no longer pops up. It seems to be only the old version of the print dialog box, as trying to print something in apps such as the photo app causes the new version of print dialog box to pop up. It is when I try to print...

I have a program that hangs when it opens. I tried to reinstall it and the install just quits.
On another computer it runs fine. Same OS, same versions, same AV. It does not use a browser.
The database is OK. It worked some time ago on W10 but I don't know what version.
It is an...

I realize that support for Vista from Microsoft has ended, but a friend has something he wants to do, and I thought maybe a user from the community might have an answer for it.
He has some old programs from Win 95, very specialized programs and...
I am not sure where to post this so, admin, please move if need be.

Hi
Can we download the windows 7 32 bit for free for testing purposes? I had one like ten years ago however I don't remember how long it lasted for. I had it for a decent amount of time though as I remember playing farcry on it.
Hey folks,
I'm looking for an x86 installer for URL Rewrite Module 1.1 or 1.0. I've seen references to URL Rewrite 1.1 installers named rewrite_1.1_x86_rtw.msi and rewrite_1.1_x86_en-US.msi, although I expect that there were other variants. All links I've found to these files, however, have...
I am trying to view a site that uses Adobe flash for its presentation and Chrome blocks it. There is an option on Edge to use it "once". Is it safe to do? I don't know the ins and outs of the flash product but guess it is not usually safe to use - it is out of favor obviously. Thanks.
Using a Windows 7 initial install followed by Windows 10 has been the only way I've found to get Adobe CS5 operating on my system without a hitch. I use the compatibility settings to run it as a Windows 7 program after, but it didn't work on a straight Windows 10 install without installing 7...
