So i found a new Laptop online that i might buy, however it has an Intel Skylake 6th gen CPU. The particular Laptop is an MSI "GE72 6QF Apache Pro" mid 2010's gaming Laptop. MSI does provide Windows 7 drivers and a guide on how to properly configure the BIOS and install Windows 7 on their ...

Latest Hardware to support Windows Vista (not Intel)

The AMD FX9590 8 Core CPU would still be a fairly good processor for Windows XP and Vista clocking at 5 Ghz. The downside is that its power hungry. The Asrock 990FX Killer (Fatality 1) Motherboard would be a perfect fit for that CPU but its getting harder to find that specific Motherboard online. It...

Need help with "Paas Virus" on Windows 10

Ouch. I'm terribly sorry to hear your friend had this experience. Few things in this world are scarier than ransomware. Unfortunately, in your friend's case, this is to be expected. While the virus responsible for encrypting his files may be gone after a clean install, that won't change the state o...

Need help with "Paas Virus" on Windows 10

As the title sais a friend of mine has caught the Paas virus on his Windows 10 machine. He has reinstalled Windows and thus effectively removing the Virus, however his files remained encrypted. He tried the "STOP Djvu" file decrypter but it didnt work. It just gave an error saying that the...

Browser compatiblity discussion

This post was made from IE 8 running in IE 7 mode.
The Legacy Theme works perfectly and snappy while the regular AERO theme is barely usable.

Rant about Windows 10 here! [formerly titled Share your Windows 10 experience!!]

The few problems I have on 7 are that whenever I alt tab to anything and go back in to the game, my game FPS is around 10-25 FPS for a few seconds then it goes back up to 60. This also happens when I get that "You need to restart to install updates" pop up. I know its 100% a Discord issue...

7 is definitely still a decent platform, but I don't know how 1-100 people switching to 7 would be enough to change the marketshare, when w7 stil lruns on a few hundred million PCs. Most of them being workplaces, but a majority still being normal consumers. Still tho, Windows 7 still holds a market...

"Just accepting the fact that 7 is "dead" and upgrading to 10 way too soon is not an option." Kinda like how no one expected the extended kernel for Vista, yet @win32 done it. Absolute fucking mastermind. Also worth mentioning is that I bet a 7 KernelEx could easily run those ar...

I guess it just depends on what view you look at.

So one thing I am wondering is that as of now 7 is still supported well as far as applications go. But as far as the future goes, we should be losing Electron and Chrome sometime in 2022, with security updates in 2024 (POSReady) and hardware too. I don't expect nvidia & AMD to support 7 on the ...

Stop whining about MSFN.

So MSFN is basically dead from what i can tell. The same could be said for MDL. Thats why i think everyone should focuse on this forum. The Eclipse forum marks kinda a new beginning and i would love if more people from MSFN or MDL would switch to it. So yeah i also kinda agree on that. Its dead now ...

It's because their server forces HTTPS over TLS 1.1 or above, or TLS 1.0 with a specific set of cipher suites only included if IE8 is present on the system fully updated. Which as I pointed out, is beyond absurd considering most people are going to be using it as a nostalgic novelty on Windows XP. ...
