can somebody throw some light on this as i'm confused i have a MOBO with 5 USB 2 ports but whenever i put USB stick or Andro phone for transfer, they are slow and windows reports "this device can go faster" and on dialog open it gives info about some high speed ports - one is used by mouse, another by game controller, rest are free, but only LAST one seems to be this high speed port but how ... ? if they are all 2.0 ? what is this ?

well from my narrow perspective, as it is all business why make good OS/product when you can make crap, then sell it, then make it fancier and maybe tweak thing here and there, then sell as "better version" and then slowly introduce something that is in fact old but for their ecosystem is new (example with native PDF reading, MKV files, mounting virtual iso's) and again sell it as something revolutionary... etc... to me MS will only update drivers and hw support, but as OS itself it is waaay behind... but at the end its all money that counts... they stopped giving two bit s*** what ppl want/need long ago they get some exclusive right sales from US goverment most likely coz they bent over for free trojan insertions it just bleeds money money money

@byteme seems to me you described same thing they had problems with while making Longhorn and that s*** was in 2003-2004

don't get me wrong, i love eye candy too if OS looks like crap i don't want to try using it my comment was merely in context: is look far more important to people than their privacy squashed Linux distros are in last 10 years ugly as hell too, but at least you can make them look as you want both UI-wise and candy-wise

it will coz theres simply nothing to innovate on 2D surface frames so you can either have 1-colored bul***** like they had with win 3.1 // 8 // 10 - which (for some reason) all id*** call modern or sort of "3D" (classic) style or anything bitmapped (lets call it XP style) or translucent which came with vista/7 and now is comming to some sort back again tho it looks more like KDE/Deepin to me but meh... but does look really matter that much ? people seemengly only comment on new look, nobody gives a rats arse it is still inherited windows 10 spyware

thats the idea

just pay them to move them back left

except that windows is not the same since version 8 (visually)

i will say this... they can polish it to look like Bender's shiny a** but i will NEVER go to any post 7 version, ever ever, because of their disgusting anti-privacy embedded in system and i still dont understand why people keep using this piece of s*** NT OS ? games ? ok, stiff it VM and youre ok anything else makes no sense ... at least for home use...

and what to expect when they push .net all over the system ...

well its obviously that ntlite fuxed something up

looks like KDE + Deepin to me (and it still sucks)

i personally wouldn't touch it, just like chrome itself or Opera... i had hopes for Opera in its early 15 versions, but since they got bought by some china company... f*** that anyhows, since alot "major" browsers are based on Chromium, again personally, i think it's better to get something "clean" and just use external plugins that way you still have this Webkit or is it Blink now ... ? // compatible browser without spyware

at this point i'd say its not worth the effort either upgrade or use components/dll's from upgraded version

well i didnt have comctl of xp so dunno ...

it crashes on 32bit as well

since it belongs to MS internals id recon it was crypted with key

for some veird version, even on compat mode to win95 crash dump still reports that program uses NT 6.1 version of com controlls and not lower ill install 7 SP1 / x86 and report back

well as i said, macromedia director fails to open it in any form trid just gives generic "its a riff" and quickbms spews out errors and nothing extracted or given

its not solely a video, but it contains a video too

aaah i missed important stuff in 1st post maybe you are to try with even older control version try winME or NT 4 i see it uses visual cpp 6 version, these have problems when encountering vista and above and were meant for win9x mostly or maybe just stiff in same folder win2k commoncontrols

i have a specific file (size is over 100 MB) but i can't figure out from header what it is since it was dumped as just file w/o extension the first line among alot of gibberish produce this: XFIRÂ'N LPPApami }!" @ pamm¨ ˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙˙XFIRÂ'N and few liines below it gives these references: C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Net Support\INetURL.x32D C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Net Support\NetFile.x32E C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Net Support\NetLingo.x32 C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Media Support\SWADCmpr.x32 C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Devices\MacroMix.x32 C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Devices\DirectSound.x32 C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Media Support\Sound Control.x32 C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Media Support\Text Asset.x32 C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Director 8\xtras\Media Support\TextXtra.x32 i did try to rename file and add extension of .x32 and .dir then i tried to open these files in Macromedia Director 8.5 , but it doesnt accept it/them and if it's .RIFF file, i dont know how to even open it, because for a fact i know it contains VIDEO file and "internet" only reffers RIFF to be corel image any ideas ?

hype has to exist

well IE transformed into Edge (original), Edge was never written from scratch, hence why it has IE 11 "mode" as for Edge in chromium, they still have this "mode" init, but how much is IE integrated init ???

myself, i stopped caring about any win release ever since win 8 betas came out IMO win7 was last "shiny knight", everything after crappozolla
