I've been attempting to load some of my older PC games after switching from XP to 8.1 and I keep getting no response/troubleshoot/non administration blah blah blah. None of it works. I have heard about those who can run these "older" programs without trouble, so what is wrong? I just...

So, my old desktop PC (let's just call it ye ol'faithful) has been very good to me but after a little over six years it's begun to have, er, technical difficulties. I've been scrapping and saving over five years in order to afford a fast and powerful laptop but I really Really REALLY don't want...

Just wanted to make a quick thread about the newest Windows. I have been using 8.1 for quite some time, didn't like it at first but I grew used to it, but now they are offering a free upgrade to 10 if I reserve it right now and I am curious if anyone here has used it before, and what your...

Um, I don't know if this is allowed and I'm not trying to make the Laughing Gas Zone site mad at me so please delete this if this breaks any laws or stuff:

I'm so absurdly tired of hearing the words that I'm ready to tear my ears off. I'm so tired of reading them I'm ready to pour acid in my eyes. Windows Vista Sucks. Sick. Sick sick sick sick sick. People who've never even used the damn thing badmouth it. People who've never even seen it...

Hello everyone, For the last few years I’ve used Windows Media Encoder (WME) to convert AVI (DV) files to WMV. Now, WMW may not be everyone’s favorite format, but it works well for me, and my intention is to continue releasing clips in that format. Unfortunately, I reinstalled Windows about a...

Those running older versions of windows xp, and especially those who don't use microsoft updates for the latest security patches will find these tools especially helpful. They are very small in file size and even modem users will download them very quickly. Notice: These are .exe files and some...
