    Windows 8 Tutorials and Demos

    In the last couple of years I have produced about 70 tutorials and demos. The ones that are still appropriate I gathered (as hyperlinks) in a pdf. I skipped those that are outdated (e.g. a series of 10 videos for Windows 8 Consumer Preview) and those that had gathered dust and were not...

    Windows 7 Problems with Resolution and Color Depth

    I downloaded the build-7000 when it came out, and I couldn't get Win7 to go any higher than a resolution of 640x480 with a color depth of 8-bits. I think it might've been a driver problem, since my motherboard is a little out-dated (2002). I was wondering if I were to download the newest build...

    Okay, I know this is irrelevent (partly because it's outdated), but I do care. The 'old' taskbar which comes with the pre-beta build 6801 doesn't work properly with Aero on my NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200. It just becomes a black bar during Aero mode. Strange, it's worked in the past. I am posting...
