Actually I believe that the cost to produce a 16:9 and a 16:10 is about the same. What made it cheaper was that one factory could save half their money by only producing one of the sizes instead of two. I would say it was a gamble that paid off, whichever company thought of it first, or if there was a multi-company agreement, to just stop making 16:10 panels at the factory.

It all comes down to what applications/games you are running or what features you require. That is the only way to know, otherwise it could just be anything. Of course, posting "unknown model number" makes it impossible for anyone to be able to say "this other card is better"

The Leadtek GeForce 4 TI440 does not appear to use VRAM, but SGRAM. http://ixbtlabs.com/articles/digest3d/itogi-video-gf4-4400.html https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814122134 I am putting it down as a case of OP using the wrong terminology.

What was your old username?

The speed is mostly relative, or not really noticable to humans, of an old OS on period hardware vs a new OS on modern hardware. This goes against what many people think because they will remember their Windows 95 computer running really slow, but this is more of a selective memory. I have had Windows 95 computers on Pentium MMX with 5200RPM HDD be able to boot and run standard Windows stuff the same speed as a Windows 7 on a quad core and an SSD. In either case, the computer gets slower with time, installing software and/or failing hardware and people remember when their computers were slow and not when they were fast. I think that Windows has gotten slower over time, which is to be expected considering all the stuff they have just been adding onto it over the years.

Certainly a person with only 1 computer running Windows 98 and no other computer or "smart" device would be in quite the pickle. I remember a time when the internet (or at least the web) was not a primary function of a computer and later became a luxury. It seems only in recent years did computers turn into on-all-the-time machines and probably 99% of people only use their computer to go on the web. That doesn't mean that there cannot exist computers that do not use web browsers as their dominant program. Heck I even have computers (Windows 7) that are segregated so that they cannot get to the internet.

Occasionally I will hear XP sounds on radio station broadcasts.

Certainly they do, but it depends on how you use their service. Especially if you use Android phone.

20GB was my standard disk size from 98 to XP as well.

There even exist 4:3 LCD monitors with HDMI inputs, but I usually find these on websites that sell embedded/industrial systems. Prices are typically put as "ask for a quote today!" :\ I will get one some day...

Ok just making sure. In a situation like this when trying to do something that doesn't work, using as much detail as possible is best.

Which suggestions would those be exactly?

80GB for OS is just fine for Vista or 7. If you every save or create data then it isn't a good size, but it depends on what kind of data you use. I use an 80GB in my Win7 32bit at home without a problem, but I have additional disks to keep files and some programs.

Thanks. Mis-attribution is common on forums but is a big problem. I only commented on it because of the word "we" which (without quotes) would mean mis-attribution to the information to yourself which is bad. There have been numerous stories of forums (or users) getting in trouble from those who actually write things and being found verbatim on other websites. We should always be careful to make sure that any text from another website with a word such as "we" or "I" is used in quotes, the quote tag or some other way (bold or whatever) to separate it from the rest of your text, including when alacran puts his name at the end of his post like jaclaz does, it reads as all being written by you.

So you can only view your data by logging into a website and seeing it there? Nothing stored locally? Would be interesting to know if you could monitor the activity before and after disabling it, and seeing if anything is still being tracked after disabling even if that website doesn't show anything.

Who is we? If you have copied this text from another site you should put it in quotes. If you actually typed all this, you can tell us how many people are involved in creating your posts.

The same can be said for "awesome." https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/awesome I didn't want to link back to learnersdictionary.com because they use XSS.

Yes it is disconnected now for good. Fortunately, all the history still remains so I can go back to read conversations going back years because the client saves those logs.

I think it still only will do one file at a time.

Yes let's be honest here. The best practices from the 90s are the same as today. All the things you weren't supposed to do in the workplace still apply to now. There are no new attack vectors from back then. People downloading and running attachments from emails, people replying to social engineering (fake/phishing) emails, people going to porn and warez websites, people downloading things from the internet, these are all the same things from back then. So let's be honest that not everyone who uses a computer now had used one back then. Let's then just go back 5 years. People using a computer on the internet for 5 years or more should be fully aware of these vectors by now and not be fooled by them. But that is not the case. All the things we are reading about online of people getting hacked, or ransomeware or whatever else isn't because it is only new users or children are using the computers. In most cases these are adults who have been using computers for years. It is this mentality of the users that causes companies to treat their users like children. Always finding ways of stopping their users from installing programs, or going to certain websites, or coming up with plans on how to deal with them. Some of these corporate end people have even created threads here on that subject, like "I have a user that keeps doing this one thing, what program can I use to stop them from doing it." That is not the correct way to handle that type of situation, but it is the same side of the coin because the irresponsibility is being shared between both parts. Think about it like this. How many people do you know that constantly have to reinstall their OS or keep getting viruses over the years? That is the problem. They are continuing a bad pattern and not adjusting their behaviours so that it doesn't happen again. But instead of changing behaviours or trying to understand what they are doing, people will often just change their antivirus program, or use a different browser, or get a new computer with a different OS on it and then continue to do the same things. But we live in this world and it is accepted for people to not care about computers in such a way, or that if they have a problem on their computer that they caused then there is nothing they can do about it. Or corporations must treat their employees like children, or that it is OK to pay for a program you probably don't need because you "don't know how to computer" or whatever else. This is "the norm" and has been this way for a long time.

It is likely this one, Visual Basic 6 Common Controls. It indicates that the program you have was written for XP or earlier OS. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=10019 The system requirements do not even list Windows 7. I don't know if the software will actually install. The file just needs to be in System32 OR (more responsibly) in the working dir of the .exe you are trying to run.

ANNOUNCING MSFN FORUM RULE #11!

There is no incorrect answer when an opinion is asked. I have nothing against Malwarebytes itself. I use it as-needed if I suspect that something wrong is on the system, but I do not use it for active protection. When it comes to active protection of anything, I see it as a last line of defense and if I am to choose anything (Malwarebytes or anything else) then the ultimate deciding factor for me is how it taxes the system. The one that takes up the least amount of resources is the one that I would let run as active protection.

I don't understand why people would rather pay for an antivirus rather than play it safe on the internet.

Could it be for named pipes? https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh125927(v=ws.10).aspx#BKMK_workstation
