Hey guys. I decided to play around with XP mode on Windows 7 Ultimate and was wondering if any of you guys have tried it?   I can't get CursorFX Plus to work. Icon Packager works, but looks yucky.   Sound Packager half works, and Windowblinds works fine.     Anyone have any advice for me?

I have an MSI MOBO which sports the new UEFI BIOS. I wondered how many others have it now?   I never see anyone talking about it.   You can access the BIOS from within Windows. Even from a smart phone.   You can surf the net from within the BIOS even!   Any experience with UEFI BIOS, let's hear it.

I wonder how this compares with yours and if it can...

Guys, I just learned something the hard way that some of you may have already known. Because of it, I will be doing a factory reset on my laptop back to Windows 8.1 from Windows 10.   Here's what happened: I upgraded my brand new Dell laptop to Windows 10. Then, stupidly, I chose the option in Windows Updates Advanced Options to opt in to Insider Builds.   Mistake. It "upgraded" me to Insider build 10532 which put a watermark on my screen, and what's worse, when ...

I updated my setup with a 30 inch IPS monitor and felt the need to redo the whole shebang.   Thought it a good time to share setup shots. Anyone?   EDIT: I think my cameras suck.
