All I want in Windows 10 is background updating. I hate when I want to shut the PC off, and Windows & tells me "1 of 12 updates are loading. please do not shut your computer off". And then I wait and wait...

Thanks guys, i appreciate your help! I know it's not my job to diagnose her, I just don't want to kick someone when they're down. [quote who="Jafo" reply="1" id="3542654"] If you're in a position to administer the forum AND you're concerned others may be adversely affected through the interaction you remove the person.

There is a women on another forum who joined the career advice thread and asked for help in finding a job. A number of people have given her advice, but she keeps on rebuffing them with "I have no skills" "I'm a failure" "I can't do anything right", etc, etc. I've started to ignore her, but other people continue to try to help her, and I get this feeling she's just leading them on. At this point, she's almost hijacked the thread. So, how can I tell if this

Also make sure you review the fees. Some items have different rates than the standard. Also Paypal charges a fee as well. Both the EBay and PayPal fee are based on the total price AND shipping charged to the buyer. If the item is unique, the more pictures you include, the better. Also a detailed description will attract more potential buyers. Since you're new, it's best to give the buyer reassurance that you are legitimate. Include your sh

I think Fences is a terrific program, but it really is an updated/modernized version of Windows 3.11 windows, and I purchased it because I missed being able to organize my desktop that way. <img class="rg_i" style="width: 256px; height: 192px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" src="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wCEAAkGBxMTEhUUExMVFhMXGRkXFxUXGBoZGBUYFxsXGBgYGhocHyggGBslGxoWJDEhJykrLi4uGB8zODMsNygtLisBCgoKDg0OGxAQGywlICYuNS8sNDQ

Thanks! unfortunately, I followed the steps in the ticket, and I'm still experiencing the same issues with the clean install. This time the only difference is that when I tried to load a skin, a message popped up saying that "a bad installation was detected, and do I want it fixed". I selected "yes" and everything seemed to go fine for the first few skins I loaded, and then it went back to the original issue. I appreciate your help, but at this point, I don't have time to trou

I downloaded 8.1, rebooted and changed the skin, and everything worked fine. Then I tried to change it again. I was able to select a new skin, but when I clicked "apply" nothing happened. I tried with a few more skins, nothing happened. Finally I tried Windows Aero. The process took a very long time, with that blue circle spinning and spinning and spinning, and after it was done, the skin didn't change. I haven't had this issue with prior versions.

I meant no offense. I just deal with a lot of people who can't see the connection between buying whatever they want and not having enough to pay for necessities. It's a blind spot I with people find frustrating, and I was venting. I'm sorry if I offended you. [quote who="XWerewolfX" reply="9" id="3528939"] But yeah, thanks for the unsolicited advice.

I really enjoyed SC2K, 3k was OK, but after that it was a death spiral. What's really sad, is that the next most popular city builder Cities XL/XXL is so oversimplified and dumbed down, it can't even compare favorably to SC2k, except, maybe graphic-wise.

If you have to wait until payday to pay for a game, maybe you should use that money for something else. Food, rent, utilities, retirement savings, etc. Yea, it's none of my business, but I hate seeing people spend money on luxuries they really can't afford. Just because you have the money in hand to pay for something, doesn't necessarily mean you can afford it... Rant over. <span styl
