You probably know it's December 2020, not 2019.
Are you planning a Flash museum? :)
Thanks for your effort, empleat.
Re your recommended Intel CPU & nVidia GPU:
I've used that combo for at least a decade now, but I recently read/saw that AMD's new products have made them...
Yeah, same here—well, the first halves anyway. I played Far Cry 1 first half probably 8-10 times, but only finished it 2-3 times—the Trigen 2nd half was too much of a grind. I much preferred it to...
If your i5 2500 is actually an i5 2500K, it would be worth your while to overclock it if you play recent AAA games. It's an 8-year-old chip, which is often going to hold back your great graphics...
Ctrl-click is the thing.
Fyi links may not be live-clickable unless you press Enter after them, or alternatively format them as a link.
Google apps is very much a Windows app.
In that case, you'll be fine with anything—test your candidates and just pick whatever feels best to you.
Do you use automation, ie templates, styles,...
I'm going to add in:
Humankind from Amplitude Studios, which I just saw described at Gamescom. Due in 2020, it should sit comfortably beside Civ in the same way their Endless Legend & Endless Space...
I suggest uninstall and reinstall.
I have found all Office 365 apps to be top class, with the big exception of Skype which is a periodic PitA.
Amazon have OEM versions for $72.
Hi Judith, it's a long time since I had Office 2007, so following is general procedure. You'll need to figure out the exact details of how to do it in 2007.Extract one of the files, and rename it....
If you don't need the main monitor available, then wrap the game launch shortcut in a batch file which would:
Disable the main monitor;
Launch Game;
Re-enable the main monitor on game exit.
There's nothing on my OMG Saliva! list, but a few I'll keep an eye on:
The Outer Worlds—Obsidian have great pedigree.
Cyberpunk 2077—ton of respect for CDPR, hope it comes close to the hype for...
Can you tell me where you saw this, please? My GM doesn't indicate either way, no On/Off toggle in Settings > Gaming > Game Mode. All it says is "This PC supports Game Mode."
It doesn't tell me if...
I agree with this. I have hundreds of games on both, but will purchase from GOG in preference because of probably better compatibility going forward. Galaxy 2.0 when it comes out is also intended to...
I've seen that occasionally with old games, but don't know how to fix. Suggestions:
1. Run the game as Admin—this enabled me to play the original Command & Conquer game from 1995 [packaged in EA's...
Well I finally got playing again :)
WeMod didn't work out for me—I forget why, probably my fault. I got a bit of free time recently and checked out a couple of promising mods. The one which does...
Reason I asked about language is the error message complains about non-ASCII, which suggests language mismatch. I have 2 alternative suggestions:
1. Look at the folder path where you have Steam...
Are you on Windows 10?
What is your system & Steam language?
What are you trying to do when you get this error?
Install the Steam Game Manager?
Install a particular game? If so, have other...
I've noticed some comments about recent problems with Chrome, so try another browser and keep Chrome closed.
It's also possible there was some big download or upload happening yesterday in the...
Thanks Brink, but I'm looking for a way to exchange notes with another user on our LAN. Currently using Skype, which isn't optimal for keeping or deleting individual notes.
I have an old Sticky...
Have a look at File Lock Pro. I only needed to use it briefly last year, but it worked fine that time.
I've been hosting with Namecheap since last decade, very satisfied. I've rarely needed support, but very responsive and helpful the few times I've dealt with them.
My suggestion is to disable all sharing on both PCs, reboot them, and then setup the sharing again. That should nuke whatever glitch has crept into your setup.
A lot depends on where the author name is in the filename, and if it's uniquely separated from the rest of the filename—eg by underscore, hyphen etc.
Can you give us a representative small sample...
