  1. The authors would point out that AutoIT is a scripting language and not a programming language. I'm sure there must be some reason for the difference... And I think it is because it requires something, such as how ActionScript is also a scripting language and not a programming language because it requires Flash to execute. Kix was another old scripting language that could be used for XP, but it is not as fully featured as AutoIT was even back then. It was the reason why I even used AutoIT because Kix couldn't do something I needed.
  2. mohsad make sure to read the forum rules, especially the 1st one.
  3. I had purchased a computer game on Ebay and didn't really pay attention to what it was. I got it in the mail and it is a UK release. This isn't the first time owning an EU PC game, but I also haven't tried to use any of the others. The box has a disclaimer and I am wondering if it is legit, or just there for legal reasons, it says: "Not for sale in North America or Canada - this game will not install on North American or Canadian systems." The system requirements only have Windows 95/98 listed. So is it possible that this particular game will not install onto a US version of Windows 95/98 and required an EU version, or at least an EU LIP? Or is this text just here to make sure that retailers or distributors of the time did not try to import this version to North America?
  4. Well now you'll never get that username change. I recommend you do not try to register more accounts, otherwise we will report you to the spam service.
  5. Current user, or the one logged in, but it should have the settings for all users and contexts.
  6. I cannot find any information relating to Minecraft changing requirements to Windows 10 only.
  7. I cannot be hacked because I RAM Overlay.
  8. It depends on the drivers and how they are installed. Some drivers that require installation from a program may have OS checks in the program itself. The drivers themselves may have a compatibillity check in them, which would normally cause a setup to work but for Windows to reject the install. That would be found in the .inf file. But even if the INF does allow installation on Windows 8.1, the binaries may require Windows 10 versions of some files to work. The first step would be to post the hardware IDs of the devices you want to find drivers for. You may be able to find some in the MS Update Catalog, but know that they do not always have the correct OS information on that site. Meaning: They may show a driver for Windows 8 but it only works in Windows 10. You won't know until you try it.
  9. Welcome to the MSFN!
  10. Every Lite-On DVD drive I've used has the same issue as in the op. I just either use a paper clip or when I get fed up will replace the drive.
  11. Third name in 30 days? This isn't a username changing simulator.
  12. In my recent uses of Linux, it just works. But that is presuming I am using it as-is. My current install, everything worked without me having to do anything. That includes LAN, WLAN, mullti-mon, etc. What I wasn't aware of was how to install new programs. I had wanted to install Zoom onto it, and there is a Linux download, but it was some file that wasn't associated with any other program and I had no idea what to do with it.
  13. There are the drivers for your processor graphics: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/21414/
  14. That is the identifier for NT Authority context, which is stored in C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\NTUSER.DAT. So you would need to mount that hive and add keys to it, then unmount.
  15. Using DISM /online /add-package options https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/dism-operating-system-package-servicing-command-line-options
  16. We have an entire sub-forum for this already https://msfn.org/board/forum/24-windows-desktops-screenshots/
  17. For whichever situation is applicable to you, post the make/model of: - motherboard + cpu (if using onboard video) - notebook (or notebook + cpu if using whitebook) - video card
  18. This is not the expected behaviour. There is no functional difference between LTSC and say... Enterprise or even a retail SKU. There is something wrong with your installation if this type of thing is happening to you.
  19. I show for you: 1.8 MB of 1.95 MB allowance for attachments. You can view your attachments here: https://msfn.org/board/attachments/
  20. I've actually seen this myself. When this happens, you can find in event viewer that Steam.exe vetoes the Shutdown request! I just make sure to exit Steam before shutting down.
  21. Windows 10 is not full UEFI, neither was Windows 8. Windows only has an EFI bootloader using the same basic methods as Vista and Windows 7. The OS itself is still "legacy" (hence why it still has stuff from XP in it) and only has the ability to hook into UEFI features. To put it this way, if Windows 10 was actually an EFI application, it would be impossible to image/convert a Windows partition between EFI/GPT and BIOS/MBR disks and be able to get it to boot. You can do that now because when you do this type of conversion, you only need to change the bootloader to get the OS to boot.
  22. This site is almost 20 years old, it is not that surprising. There are many accounts that I have made on other forums and not gone back to. There is not enough time in the day to be posting on forums, especially as you get older. Times change and people do different things.
