Nokiamies

was different big enough for cover possible margin error? I never had that problem with my system despite having 29gb of my 32gb ram used by VM, firefox instances, steam etc. Sounds like you are running out of vram or ram. What gpu and how much ram I had similar issues when was low on resources. It is eye candy aero bad side that it needs video memory to run. ^this. I started computer use earlier than you back when there was windows 9x still and NT 4.0 was out so my preferences are Windows 98-windows XP and sometimes vista then windows 7 to few modern titles. For you starting use computers was likely win7 era atleast sounds like it.

Thanks. Need test it and I report back results with software

Diy DVR is best thing can do to record tv shows. No vendor lock, easy storage upgrade and unlimited possibilities I tried on vista x64 and no errors. I wanted support developer who wont just artificially block software from running totally (winpe header change for example) and dvbviewer was only to XP that could support happauge IR remotes. Happauge blocked use of tuner on older Windows version by altering hwid a bit and removing info from XP support from their site. I emailed company asking if it did support since few of their pages said Windows XP supported. Got response never been tested or supported. Support person did not even read my email. I got it working by altering driver file to match tuner (Happauge WinTV solohd) id on Happauge driver version 5.2015.1030.34035. Same method worked to Windows Vista which was "never supported" either according them. Luckily Elisa which is my cable operator in finland offers proper guide data to me

Saying I do not need any protection on pc since never got hacked or viruses is like saying wont need seatbelts on car since never driven crash. Both of those can happen and if prepared will minimise damage

DVBViewer Pro (view IPTV or TV trough tuner card on computer) latest version (7.0.2.0 in writing this) still works on xp with one tweak. On startup you will get error from bcrypt.dll missing but it will start just fine. Bcrypt.dll was on vista and newer. To get around in delete libssl-1_1.dll and libcrypto-1_1.dll on DVBViewer directory and it will fallback to older mehtod (not fully sure which). All features (Weather, RSS, Capture TV, tuning, IR remote control, games) seems work fine. Only thing I cannot say is if CI card used to paid channels works on latest since wont have one. Update: download this and replace libssl-1_1.dll and libcrypto-1_1.dll on DVBViewer directory. Those are XP compatible versions of files and All dvbviewer online features (addon downloader, weather, rss feeds) works without issue. Thanks to @VistaLover for the tip

"Because Windows <number of latest windows version here> is way better and works perfectly on me compared windows <number of any previous windows version> and you are just scared of new things and move on and wont understand from security at all" that same response been used since windows 98 rolled out with it bloated ie4 desktop and many did not like it as response to peoples who used windows 95, then when win98 and 98se and ME got eol and xp and 2k were more mainstream same started again. Soon 2k neared eol and same started insist to it, then xp eol and same argument started again. Same response been out now over 20 years because newer must be better to some. For most basic users there has not been notable changes in windows since 95, most notable changes are to power users like me. Windows 98 was windows 95 with ie4 and active desktop, Windows ME was rebranded Windows 98 with few ui changes and usb driver and dos mode removed. Windows 2000 was real improved due usb and NTFS. Windows XP was polished Windows 2000 expect improved compability to legacy applications, new management features and few others that mattered me and of course Iiked new themes it could support. Windows vista was originally developed around Server 2003 and had some improvements mostly to 64bit support while remaining decent compability. Windows 7 was polished windows vista sp2 with few under hood changes. Any Windows version after that forgot all good UI design guidelines by forcing beginner mobile ui to desktop pc. Most peoples just believe what Microsoft and media says them from Millions of hackers attacking to every old Windows version out there and also see no issue upgrade since all they do is play few new AAA titles, watch cat videos on chrome and got no legacy apps used. I say best is to ignore them. Lot peoples do not like anything old technology since believe those are bad compared new ones. I am using oldshcool nokia phone from 2003 (6600) and peoples think it is stupid and insecure and how hackers will hijack it but I do not care. It can make calls and got 40.3kbp/s mobile data incase need plus can swap battery myself (unlike on new ones). Same said from me running windows 7 and xp instead of "teh latest and greatest windows 10" but I use it anyway since can do all type of modern things on it thanks to this board and it developers (newmoon, mailnews etc.). Someday peoples will hopefully realise the facts on that newer is not always better

Guru 3d got them. Try use these to win10. I cannot say if works on win10 (since got personal ban to windows 8 and newer) but on win7 and hd4000 works no issues. they can be still used if got drivers. Dell site got ones to xp and vista.

shutup10 does good job. I recommend read all options trough. Even after that all telemetry is not gone. Nobody knows exactly what win10 got under hood

windows 7 on Core 2 duo vs Windows 10 on Ryzen threadripper test likely like most do. Refer that to many users who had old non maintained core2duo laptop with dying hdd and windows 7 bloated with oem bloat and then bought brand new pc with i7 and nvme ssd and praised how much faster win10 is than win7. Hardware got nothing to do with it of course

What browser you are using? Also do you have any plugins. Does it occur on browser safe mode too (addons disabled).

yes clearing it helps but it is annyoing since need redownload old messages and sometimes I am behind slow mobile connection where it takes forever Folders are shorter than it and wont contain ä ö å or other alfabeths. I got subfolders on folders to index my emails by categories like work, stores etc so it may confuse it.

Core will be fine if you are not scared doing all in command line without gui.

I got annyoing bug on latest mailnews. I got 2 gmail accounts using imap4 via o2auth and got custom message folders created on gmail webui. I have enabled download offline copies of messages on settings. If I leave any of those custom folders open and close Mailnews sometimes when I it again start inbox and every message on account disappears until I delete all config files or restore backup of appdata. I can still view mails on web or other systems with client. Pop3 is disabled on gmail control panel. I am running latest Mailnews 32bit build on Windows XP 32bit. It seems like corruption of local data during login if left open

For starters you will need Windows 98 Second edition install cd, Not Windows 98 GOLD/RTM. 98 and 98SE got some changes under the hood and some drivers works best on Windows 98SE. Visually you can see it by looking whatever install cd you got next to "for pc without windows" or "shipped with new pc" or similar text it should say Second Edition. Second way is insert cd and look readme. It should say Windows 98 Second edition. I got both and for newer hw 98SE worked best To make it run windows 98 natively you need do lot of tweaks and give up on features. First of all you cannot have direct 3d support since intel never provided offical drivers. Best free one I know is VBE9X. Second good one is Scitech display doctor. Also take note you will have very buggy audio using this hd audio driver. To have better audio I recommend buying cheap generic usb audio. Even my brand new sound blaster rage 2.0 wireless headset works oobe on win98SE using hid usb audio driver. For network no driver for your nic, you need look usb network adapter that got win98 drivers Then you will need RLoew ram patch to have windows 98 booting properly with over 1gb of ram, then you will need sata patch for sata hdd support. On some newer boards windows 98 will hang on blank screen even on emulated ide mode. If you want use achi mode you can use achi driver. You will also need lba48 patch and possibly 1tb patch to handle hdd on laptop. Those needs to be installed before booting from hdd for first time. Also set sata mode to ide/legacy during setup, copy files from cd to hdd to c:\windows\system\precopy (where atleast 98SE looks files first). Use md command to create that dir then run setup.exe /p i /im /is (skip memory check, scandisk and disable achi that is buggy on newer boards). Then apply patches, reboot to bios, change mode back to achi and hopefully it will boot. I have done it to newer hw just because I can and to prove it to be possible but user experience was horrible and lack of proper 3d and audio was deal breaker to me. For win98 laptop like dell d600 or d620 (If ati x300) would work better If you want go trough all that hassle and install Windows 98 because you can go ahead and do it. If you do not want I recommend listen @Gansangriffand use virtual machine. Vmware got decent win98 performance and audio, I run test vm on vmware to win98 stuff.

2012 r2 is almost same as 2012 expect it got better UI (bit less metrofied). It would fine to your use. I recommend atleast server 2012 r2 standard not essential or web edition to have hyper v and more ram support. If you want you can do in place upgrade on retail version of windows server. I upgraded one server from 2008 r2 to 2012 r2 without reinstalling all

Highly depends on usage and hw. I used server 2008 r2 on newer servers (sandy bridge and newer) and server 2003 on older (771 xenon). 2012 would be fine for stability and compatibilty use any offically supported ones. Mostly raid controller is why needed. Stock drivers never worked well on array if you plan use windows server to virtualisation you need atleast windows server standard. Also make sure your server version supports all of processor cores and memory on system. Standard version of 2008 r2 supports up to 32 GB of ram and 4 physical cpu sockets while server datacentre/enterprise edition supports 2tb ram, 8 physical sockets (enterprise) and 64 (datacentre). For server 2012 r2 both standard and data centre do 4tb of ram and 64 physical cpu sockets. Different is on licencing features. Just make sure edition you are installing can utilise ram and cpu sockets

Been on plan. Just have not had lot time upgrade it

When hardware allowed they did all type of cool things with it like 3d, animations etc. Later they dumped it all out to flat design. I remember my phone having animated menu items when highlighted.

My server and switch is from same year. Both hp branded. Old enterprise equipments lasts long

For me it is WSOY (finnish book publisher) finnish to english dictionary software for dos/windows 3 from 1991. It is even today very decent to translate stuff, got small footprint and runs on almost every system

I cannot say from this forum experience but reaction/experience on boards plus personal experience. Windows 3.1 when came out had mixed feeling. Biggest issue many was mix of real mode dos drivers and windows drivers and out of memory for that reason Windows 95 when came out corrected driver issues. Many peoples here had 486 and 8mb ram which supposed to be plenty for it (minium requiments were 386sx and 4mb of ram). Many run out to buy 16mb or 24mb of memory which made user experience way better. I have used windows 95 on 8mb ram and it is slow as snail. Also windows 95 original RTM was very unstable. 95a corrected many of issues also microsoft released update to windows 95 rtm to fix issue. And 95b got stuff like usb support, fat32 and made it more stable but it was OEM only Then Windows 98 came out. It was very buggy and slow mostly for one reason. Internet explorer 4 and web integration which meant windows explorer (file manager) was internet explorer window. To have usable windows 98 experience you need atleast 32mb or ram and Pentium 133 and many still had pentium 90 with 16 or 24mb ram and experience was quite bad. Most of windows 98 issues were either ie4 or new driver architecture. Most even I did remove ie4 from it using one utility Year later Windows 98 Second edition came out. That fixed lot of issues from windows 98 and got way better reception. Some did not like it since still had web integration and you had to pay to upgrade it from windows 98. But overall 98SE was faster and way more stable than windows 98 and many used it for quite long and still do. Then windows 2000 and ME came out. It caused confusion and annyoance since Microsoft had promised Windows 98 is last windows 9x based os. Windows ME was very unstable on my experience. I had lot of issues with it compared windows 98. One magazine here advised skip it and wait for Windows Whistler. Windows 2000 in the other hand was very good os and reliable. More of it after sp3 was installed. It had nt4 stability with windows 9x features like usb, plug and play, direct x. Mostly peoples avoided windows 2000 since had no dos support and many older games did not work out of box and needed appcompat tool to run proper. Next Windows Whistler aka XP came out. It had very mixed repection. Before SP2 Windows XP was buggy and had lot of security holes. Also many did not want use XP since needed online activation. When sp2 came out it had merged many good features from server 2003. It was near perfect and I started properly use xp with sp2 and still do. SP3 had nothing so special. Then was Windows Vista turn. When it came out it was rushed. It introduced new WDDM (Windows Display driver model) to gpu and vendors were not ready for it. Nvidia and ATI drivers caused many display driver failed recover bluescreens. Second was windows vista required lot beefier hw than XP to run and Microsoft underestimated requiments in windows vista capacable badge. Any pc with 800mhz cpu, 512mb ram and any type of display adapter got that badge. I have seen one vista pc capacable OEM pc that had s3 trio64 pci. That video card was used back in windows 3.1 and 95 era. Second critic was overtightened DRM that broke many bought music temporary due experied certificate. Then there was Windows Genuine advantage that caused many vista users who had legal licence get "Your windows is not genuine" error due Microsoft server crash. After sp2 though and when drivers matured Windows vista was very stable but those two came out too late for new Boxed windows/New system buyers since Windows 7 was just around corner When Windows 7 was coming out many were speaking from windows 7e version that supposed to remove internet explorer (like windows N edition removed media player) due opera lawsuit. Ie would have been standalone browser like firefox or chrome not OS component. It would have had rolled out in europe. Many peoples were waiting for it since could mean end to MS monopoly with IE but on last moment ms cancelled plans and made browser ballot update which was basically ad for other browsers and was annyoing. Windows 7 was way more stable than Windows vista at beginning mostly due matured driving architecture and it had many useful management/other features to power users. Windows 8 hype started almost right after Windows 7. When Windows 8 came out it was mostly advertised to tablets not desktop pc. UI was meant to touchscreen and having mix of classic windows app, metro apps, ribbon apps, web apps made quite mess. For me Metro felt like Windows 1.0 or 2.0. Also almost all features needed microsoft account. Want add note to calendar? Need ms account. Also it had no visible start button, it Open with dialog pushed Microsoft store and did hide other apps. Windows 8.1 fixed some things bug only was get update was create account to microsoft store and download from there. Also windows 8.1 broke many windows 8 apps since Kernel version number change When Windows 10 came out it caused confusion first since was offered free. It had bad features of Windows 8 and more. What really annyoyed me was Microsoft forced update that automatically forced Windows 10 even if you dismissed update. I had to deal many systems that did that and broke lot of stuff including my own even after I reverted it windows 7 again. Any of windows versions before forced itself to my pc without me inserting install media and installing it manually. Second issue was mix of control panels and browsers. Windows 10 had and still do have two web browsers, two control panels. Also windows 10 got ads and many unremovable features. Windows 10 keep changing all the time breaking many apps and drivers on new versions. If you bought windows 10 pc in 2015 you may lose driver support to it someday. Some Atom based systems did. I have been able use every older version of windows with same drivers trough every service pack/updates. And for Admin on corporate environment constant feature updates will cause headache. I do not want beta test product on my main pc or on production network. What I found over time is many peoples defend latest windows no matter what bad features it got and says no excuse keep older version. It goes like "Windows <latest version here> is way better than <older version here> and got there is no excuse not to use <latest version here>. You are just scared of new things and not thinking with common sense" That same sectence been used as argument to every new Windows version since windows 98 came out

there is some but hard to say depending from your area where can get. Seen some supporting up to 4 monitors. Second and much better option is if your monitor got two ports is buy single port switch and hook two other monitors to both systems using monitor ports like this: PC1--->gpu dvi/hdmi/vga port-->kvm switch-->monitor 1 -->display cable1>monitor2 input 1 -->display cable1>monitor3 input 1 -->display cable1>monitor2 input 2 -->display cable1>monitor3 input 2 PC2--->gpu dvi/hdmi/vga port-->kvm switch-->monitor 1 this way you can have relatively cheaply and easily kvm and multimonitor setup

That will work. When looking kvm look one with usb and hdmi and support to usb passtrough, support monitor refresh rate and resolution, seperate button to switch between systems. Passtrough is needed to use usb hub or gaming keyboard or mouse features like quick keys, lights etc. I got shared usb ports since that between my systems and gaming mouse and keyboard works fully.. KVM switch model is ATEN CS692. It works fine to my system with resolution 1920x1200*60hz that is it max on spec sheet

I am running dual system on same monitor and keyboard using KVM switch. I got XP system (Phenom 2 X4 945, 4gb ram, 8800gts) and "Modern" win7 and linux system (ryzen 7 2700x, rx580 8gb, 32gb ram) both in my dell ultrasharp, g110 keyboard and g203 mouse. I can use logitec gaming software on both since passtrough and can go to xp or modern system with press of button my desktop. Maybe KVM dual pc setup would work to you too. I can enjoy both of them whenever want

One more thing to note. If you send message using SSL SMTP port every sent message will have warning that has been sent "insecurely". It works but receiver sees that warning
