Eclipse Community

I just realised how late I am jesus christ oopsies. Hope you sorted it already lol

Havent logged into eclipse for ages so like everything was showing notifications and thought there was a load of activity here now lol...

The E5420 has a plastic wrapped battery holder which has a 2 pin connector connecting onto a motherboard. To replace this, you'll either need to cut back the plastic, pull off the pads and solder in a new battery (CR2032 I would guess) or order a new CMOS for these which is dirt cheap since pretty m...

Hey all, trying to shift some laptops that aren't selling on eBay so just spreading them around some other places. To save my sanity (they all have various issues and specific details) just check out my post on the ThinkPad forum here and instead of contacting me on there, it's probably best if you ...

As non cool as it is for companies to drop older OS support, who in their right mind uses chrome anyways?

I'm currently trying to obtain a working build of steam for XP myself, as I want to play some older games in my library but like I don't really know where to start. I have lost confidence slightly though since the last updates of steam where they changed all of the login system and stuff. Before it ...

Guess what, I'm also back too

Well, although it MAY be for security and probably will help with security, it might be something more complex as you say. All I know is I sure goddamn hope I have TPM because those modules have gone up in price like GPU's

Hi, I'm Gekko! I was searching for a forum and decided to enter here.
I liked this Aero theme.

Welcome

I HATE THIS OS SO MUCH IT IS A DISGRACE TO SOCIETY IT USES 4GB RAM ON IDLE. I USE 8GB RAM AND IT CONSTANTLY BSOD’S BECAUSE IF ITS UNPPTIMIZED MESS yes, windows 10 sucks but no, you should not be IDLING at 4GB lmao... scan your pc with something like malwarebytes and check how much you have running ...

I tried installing Win11 Pro N on VMware WS 12, but after restarting twice, the VM boots into the VHD, shows the bootscreen, displays 'Just a moment...' on the screen and then the display goes blank. Nothing happens after that. I had the same issue, make sure you have Windows 10 selected as the OS ...

Ladies and gentlemen I have brilliant news: I just found that Microsoft quietly announced the retirement of Windows 10 to be 2025. No idea how true that is but idk. WAIT WHAT????? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

I feel it would be easier to maybe just modify the existing Discord client to support older OS'???

It looks like another MacOS ripoff if you ask me. I mean Microsoft surely could've done something new and unique.

Also appears to be full of even more bloatware and spyware than Windows 10 is

All of this new "revolutionary" gaming performance improving software seems bs to me too.

The 2020 ISO crashes before I can even get to anything, it doesnt last long enough to grab the error either. Update BIOS? uHHHH i mean its an old acer sandy bridge board. it also runs w10 and linux fine. think i'll just try get my hands on a product key somehow and download the iso from microsoft.

Unfortunately the 2016 one does the same, no idea why.

They both have a Win10 like loading experience too, but I'm pretty sure that's for a reason posted above in the main post with the ISO links.

Ah, should have probably thought of that one...

I guess I'll buy / find a key somewhere

Okay, so I have a machine with an i3 2100 and GT710 that I want Windows 7 on. I only have a Windows 10 ISO and Windows XP Disks+ISOs. I installed Windows 10 on it thinking I could back up and restore to Windows 7, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Any ideas??? The Windows 10 is activated because...

You can clear it after, I beleive

Do you have any CD's / DVDs you can write to? I have a SP3 .iso taken from a legit winxp disk if you want it.

Installing from .iso / usb rarely works on xp unless youre using a VM.

Might get on better with a Radeon GPU because it has open source drivers that will run on pretty much anything

That's cool and all, but can you access the forum from MSDOS Works from a 3.x build, don't remember which exactly. Probably needs some old Opera or third party browser, old old Netscape probably couldn't render the site, though it might fare better with the useless forum. Interesting. Bet you can't...

I can smell the elitism coming from your laptop the same way I can smell the burning of the Northwood Pentium 4's components

I'd love to try this but I'm not sure how the hell you set up VMWare and like how easy it is to run

That's cool and all, but can you access the forum from MSDOS

Well.... I have far too many machines to list these days, without going insane. So here's just my two main machines: My main pc has an i5 9600KF@4.7GHz and a 6600XT, running w11 for gaming and Gentoo for everything else My main laptop is an E7440 (I plan to upgrade this for a Dell Precision Mobile W...

1. That gpu is bottlenecking the i9 2. In all seriousness, Windows 7 might just not support hardware that is that powerful, although I've never really tested myself. Not the biggest Windows expert. 1. I know it is lol, I couldn't find a better GPU for a price that wasn't outrageous. 2. If that's tr...

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelib...

Gmail and Outlook work well . If you own a domain you could also set up your own email system.

Gmail and Outlook are owned by Google and Microsoft. There's your problem.

I mean yes. But like it never seems to go down or anything.
