Install your mouse software and go into it in Control Panel. See if you can re-assign your buttons there. F12 for screenshots, I believe, was a function of the program itself. Some programs (games) it works, some it doesn't or you need to configure it for that. It used to be, that you could use Ctrl+Print Screen to send text directly to the printer. I'm not sure if that is used anymore. I just set my default printer to the XPS Document Writer, and press Ctrl+Print Screen and nothing happened. An aside, I opened paint and pasted a screenshot, so Ctrl+Print Screen seemed to (at least) operate the same as Print Screen on its own.

I can see the possibility for one to be filed relating to HIPAA.

IPB last free version was 1.3F/2.0, afterwards they then moved into paid only. They stopped support for free version of the forum and keep that same model with the paid versions. Eventually you get to a point where you have to upgrade to the newest version or you don't get patches anymore. So a forum owner has the choice to upgrade to the newest version, stay on a vulnerable old version or switch to another forum software. Converting to a different software is way more work than updating to a new version of the same software. Especially if the forum has a lot of custom content. Also not all forum software have the same things or are only available as a mod or add-on. Suggesting to move to a different forum software is not something that can be done easily. In cases where this is done, it either involves a ton of work on the backend OR the forum starts out fresh. So switching to another software really isn't a viable option unless you absolutely have to. A recent example that I remember was Assembler, where they had a server failure and then did a conversion before relaunching the site, but that site was down for a long time in the process.

Lawyers? What seems interesting is that apparently MS can't offer Windows 2000 for download due to their settlement with Sun re: the Java lawsuit. Since it also can't be redistributed, this makes the only legal way to acquire the install media is to find a CD with it on there.

Well it is not entirely accurate that it has "no software" ... there are currently 2 different pre-install methods for Office 2016: - Office 2013 v15.4 is pre-installed. This version of Office 2013 that could unlock Office 2013 product keys, or if you put in an Office 2016 product key it would download 2016 and remove 2013. - Office 2016 pre-installs and identifies itself as Office 365 but most of the bits are there. Updates to 2016 were available by the time this one would be used and after you activate, it would automatically download the update before you could begin to use it. Now one big thing with Office 2016 is that to activate you must have a Microsoft Account. When you activate, the product key gets assigned to the account. This causes trouble for anyone who would want to use Office on a computer with no internet access.

Microsoft itself claims 112,388 worldwide employees (not the 118,000,000 that Statista claims) so phones alone could not be it. Even if you were to include the contractors, I doubt it adds that much more. But I agree with your math. From my own personal experience, 100% of the people I have met that have a Windows phone was a Microsoft employee and 100% of the Microsoft employees I've met have Windows phones. I have also run into a couple people who have Android or iPhone and set their phone signature to make you think that they had a Windows phone...

It is likely that Windows 2000 as a 7zip file is warez, so it can't be discussed here.

Supposedly there Windows 10 for phones only is available on 2 models that were released in Dec 2015, and apparently only "sold" 4.5 million of those. http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/28/10858474/microsoft-earnings-report-q2-2016 So even if that number isn't 100% correct, I still don't think phone sales are being figured in. Anyways I doubt any company would say exactly where numbers like this come from. I mean, they put this out to brag about the amount of sales. It is less a news story and more of an advertisement. If they were to break down exactly how the numbers work out, it probably wouldn't be so exciting. I wonder if this would get put into an annual report...

I only found out about being able to drag the quote when I hovered the mouse over it. And the crosshair thing showed up in the corner, which reminded me of similar type thing in Word if you add a picture to a document. If there is a how-to guide, I don't know where it is, I think we are all just figuring it out together.

Load More Content on Custom Stream either doesn't work OR is showing the button when there is no content. That is one thing I hadn't considered. I reported this already but when I use it, it just makes the entire page unavilable and puts a busy animation on the screen. It never completes! Also if you were to make a quote, then want to post before it, you must post below it and then drag the quote below what you typed.

So... again with these "look how good our thing is" reports from Microsoft, leave us to wonder where this number comes from. We have speculated in the past that their numbers may include VL and phones. It would be interesting if they are getting this information from their telemetry stuff. If that is the case, then people like @NoelC wouldn't be counted because he blocked all that with his firewall?

Spam post was removed. It may depend on which tool you choose to try.

Have you already tested to see if it is related to the mouse? It has been so long since I've come across this issue. I definately remember that software could be a cause.

Auto-merge has been disabled again. There is a bug with it that causes some thing to not go where they are supposed to go.

I don't think drvload is smart in that way. Maybe there is another program that can detect devices and load drivers automatically. If you used drvload for this, you'd need to script that behaviour.

Well you can put an ISO on a usb stick, so not having a DVD drive isn't too big of a deal.

Right, if it were a critical issue, the thread would have been closed already. But it is good we can have discussions about these type of things in this section, as we all have different views about it. We can all have input on how to make it better.

There is no reason to close the IoT thread. It isn't so big now but fits the same mold as the Impressions thread.

That section is in testing. Currently it is set for only admin view.

This thread is fine for now.

We share the same sentiment here, while yours is about posts, ours is about the entire thread. Let's have this timeline of events over the years: - There was a first impressions thread for Windows 8 that ended up being a catch-all for news and reactions to Windows 8. This was ok at the time. - Separately, the Technology News section was a ghost-town and buried near the bottom of the sub-forum list. - The frontpage news staff had fallen off and it was generally left to myself and Xper to put up posts. This is a problem for both of us because Xper was/is very busy person and I don't read up on tech news. - People had noticed that news was not being updated as often on the frontpage. The frontpage gets a good amount of traffic and is an entry portal to the forum. Active front page = active forum in the eyes of visitors. - Xper adds the ability for people to add news posts to the frontpage. As of this writing, with exception of bots, only Tihiy has attempted to make a news post that way. - We started having database errors (if you remember SQL Driver error and forum downtime) and one of the problems was found the large "Impressions" thread was causing a lot of errors. - So we locked the thread. People got upset, we moved the thread to GD and closed/made new ones when they get too big. After that period when the thread was moved to GD, we still wanted a better way of handling it. So we see that many users are actually doing the same job that people would be doing of putting news on the frontpage. Instead of submitting it as a news items, they were posting in the thread. So you may remember being reached out to (among others) to post news, since it was what was being done in that thread. Even now, with this new forum version there is the ability to create a news item on the frontpage, and it will create a thread on the forum so that people can discuss it. Regarding content for news posts, News should be posted without opinion. You can let opinion be made in the discussion. So if you wanted to post a news article about how Windows 10 will disable the built-in Administrator account after an update, you would just be stating fact. There is no opinion in the matter. Surely it would be nice to post all sorts of news, not just bugs with an OS. And if these types of things are truly important to people, then they are fine news items.

You forget. We do not want the "news megathread" that is Deeper Impressions... and becoming IoT is a bad idea thread. We would prefer that each of these news items be their own threads, and then we can take those news posts and have them as news on the front page. However our multiple attempts to make it like that have been refused. So we make no concessions for those catch-all threads.

UART, XP/Vista/Win7 drivers exist for that HwID. Try the Windows 7 driver. This can be found in Intel Chipset driver. I found a driver v9.4.4.1005 from 2013.

Doubtful it is NoScript's fault. The forum should be keeping that announcement data in a cookie. Make sure it isn't being blocked or deleted when you exit the browser.

You should be editing your previous post should you need to post in a thread again, where you are the last poster, within 24 hours. We have a rule about this and bumping threads.
