Reply to Win 98 REMIX in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="The-Reaper-Man" reply="11" id="3869780"] I'm old enough to have been around for Windows 3.1 and before that DOS 5.0 and even DOS 4.5! But I was pretty proud of the fact that I knew my way around those OS's when you had to actually know the commands to get by; no pointing and clicking, and dragging and dropping back then! I believe I had a USRobotics 2400 baud dial up connection. Ah, those were the days! [/quote] I'm old enough to have been around Fortran a

I just need to add... Keeping communications of misunderstandings such as this restricted to private avenues of discussion is imperative as public perception is always going to be wrong. It's a fact of life. I have recorded and removed subsequent comments simply because they reference private communications which by definition no longer means they are private. Edit... I cannot stress enough. Anyone posting

Guys, I don't think this public conversation is helping anyone at all. Misunderstandings occur even with the best of intentions. What's advisable going forward is that similar communications remain via Private Messages directly between affected parties. If and/or when there is a resolution worthy of public record...then's the time to be public to benefit others. Pringl2 ...I'm not physically in Stardock's Office but I've been aro

One of my old machines has one of the 6pin leads coming from the PSU via an adapter from a standard 4 pin Molex ...so it's not an uncommon issue re part compatibility...;)

A GPU in a PCIe slot with 1 8 pin cable maxes out at 225 watt. Check what your card's max draw is.... it will be more since it's built with 2 cables. The second one would have about another 150 or so...;) Specs on whatever your card is for max consumption will be something like 300 watt ...so if you max out you'll shut down the MoBo ...;) I may have to teach you how to Google...;)

[quote who="RedneckDude" reply="6" id="3868409"] Pretty much what I thought was happening. I guess I need a new/better PSU. [/quote] Not necessarily...you need to check what voltage is being wanted by the 2 sockets on the GPU and see if they can be accommodated by a suitable adapter for an existing 'spare' lead from the PSU. Probably worth a Google at least...;)

It's "social media" of sorts, but being privately owned can be suitably 'policed' to exclude much of what Musk wants to put into Twitter. Apparently it's not enough of a cess-pool of mis-information for him...yet...;)

Reply to Building a better social media messaging site in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

I don't see the demise of Twitter as a bad thing at all. Appears he might be in for a little trouble with his mass firings and potential class actions...;)

Reply to Gamers At WinCustomize? in Community WinCustomize Forums

The reason a card might have 2 cables is to increase power consumption [capacity]. The splitter simply halves what is needed to each so simply won't work at 'capacity'...instead the PSU will trip and shutdown totally...;)

I hadn't the heart to tell them they all were wrong anyway when they called their 'Ground floor' the 'First Floor'.

Reply to How to select installation directory from command line in Fences WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="BigDH" reply="20" id="3866672"] I, too, am a software developer, and it is not a good thing to require Fences to be installed in a certain location, particularly the C drive. All apps should be able to be installed on any drive and programmers should code so that they work fine from anywhere. I agree that this is taking the easy way out at the expense of the user. I install all my tools to other drives and reserve the C drive for the OS. [/q
