    Fixing a Windows UEFI Bootloader installation

    If you get into a situation where you don't feel like reinstalling, you can always do some trickery to convert an existing install to UEFI/GPT. I tried this with success: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/14286.converting-windows-bios-installation-to-uefi.aspx Caveats...

    Win 10 Problem - Can't search "system settings"

    If I launch the settings app on one computer, no matter what I type in the search field, (eg: "update") I get no results. Additionally, the same is true for start menu - that search will not display anything from settings. This works fine on my other computer. Anybody know why?

    AMD 3870K has landed @ the 'egg

    Out of curiosity, did you change because the Scythe couldn't handle the 100W output, or another reason? I ask because I just got my scythe in the mail today but haven't opened it since I'm still waiting for other parts. If it's not going to work, I'll try to see if I can return it. Anyone...

    Asus Maximus II Formula - onboard soundcard problem

    So I've had nothing but trouble with this card from the beginning. Here's some history. From day one, if I used the front panel audio, it would get interference from the graphics card because of the poorly shielded cable (shielding it with duct tape and aluminum foil did not help. The microphone...

    **OLD THREAD** League of Legends - F2P MOBA (like DOTA)

    I could do that, but I'm not so desperate as to cheat the system. 'sides, I still want to get my first account to lvl 30 first. and you don't get bonuses unless the account gets lvl 5. I don't feel like getting 10 accounts to lvl 5

    **OLD THREAD** League of Legends - F2P MOBA (like DOTA)

    Actually the graphics in LoL are better now, IMO. You're right, it's more original, and unlike HoN it's not full of assholes. Also, unlike hon, it's actually more or less balanced. And it's FREE! The only thing hon has on this game is ingame voice chat, which people don't like to use (but...

    Windows Vista language options?

    In Win XP you could go to regional settings and under the advanced tab you could install additional languages for your windows to display. This is gone from Windows Vista apparently, because some dolt decided to move stuff around. I'm trying to get Russian to display. I seem to be able to...

    Vista file sharing problem

    The problem turned out to be totally trivial. For some reason my system clock was set a month back (I didn't notice this). I set the time right and it works. BTW, Jack, Vista does let you share C$.

    Vista file sharing problem

    Thank you jack, but I've been to most of those links. Unfortunately they haven't helped. I've installed the patch, tried it without my firewall, set the workgroups, etc, all as suggested. but it still keeps asking me for password on administrative shares. regular shares will work provided I...
