oracle VM says it works with windows 10.. I am using it myself. what it requires is that you download and setup oracle VM then you decide the settings for your ideal machine. setting up what will happen when you turn it on basically.. you have to provide it with either a virtual harddrive image or c...

thanks so much..

wanting to setup a new virtual server to program, hack and interogate "virtually".. so i have been playing with oracle virtual box, running on a dell inspiron laptop with windowsXP. so far i have managed to setup both a ubuntu x86 instal in VM and now a second VM running dos622.. i was rea...

so you got sound now correct?

my guess there is that you where using a soundcard that used a dos driver. if you know the sound is on the motherboard and not a sound card, you might have an option to find chipset drivers for the machine that will enable sound. if its a card and your sure that it is compatible with 7 seek the driv...

I currently have just 45 watts of dc 12v coming in from solar panels. that with 3v6v9v12v selector setup for charging devices. i set it up for my well pump. I jerked it all up and replaced it with a 12v dc utility pump. using a charge controller i get my water/light free for the last 12years now. it...

ah, i see..circumvented big brother huh. it works just fine without it and hasn't had virus or hack attack since. that being the main reason I'm going to linus, (they don't want to do you in). they give away the OS as well as software Apps for it. the thing i like about windows x86 that isn't presen...

that was a great catch and save.. interception home team..score there...

nope, that search method don't work either. I removed IE.. I am guessing "search" was a part of, if not a function of IE is why it isn't working and IDK how to fix this other than re installing IE except maybe a third party search or or re install something full of vulnerability's.. I will...

so far sounds good, let me ask to, is windows search still available to you? i see mine in the start menu but when i click it it never pops up.. on a second note, you know of any light weight search apps that work in xp to replace it? congratz on getting a working clone to.. the drive reporting bad ...

that's a mouse or maybe Dos sound driver. is hardware compatible?

i see you got windows7 installed and i seen a dualboot screen. awesome..

the "Aomei" back upper and the partition assistant by them, I used where free direct downloads,from aomei they are "fully capable" to, not some half crippled or trial BS software. it goes smoother if you do one task at a time instead of chaining a bunch together because the softw...

thumbs up!

the arc is probably a a large diode or bridge rectifier that has broken down. allowing the wrong polarity to be present. it's usually what causes this "damaging arc effect", my experience with microwave ovens is it's best to junk them out get a newer one. for best results.. I do have a rea...

you are well versed in programming, as to my understanding, all you need is to write a batch file menu named config.sys with redirects to the choice made. with the options of each OS.. at the same time that can be trouble if you have apps that auto write to the registry like registrycleaner. though ...

I got a bunch of these old magnets screwed to my electronics bench for snatch and grab tools. like the hacksaw or multi screwdriver, files. i even put one on the wall right behind the bench to be able to toss screws from a project for safe keeping till i put it back together.. plus one down in the b...

I used a freshly wiped and formated HDD for the upgrade the software i used to do the cloning i also used for the wipe. i fought with windows a bit because it kept trying to put the same 4gig page file on my C drive automatically if it does this to you, just click the Cdrive and set both values to 0...

normally, a virtual ram setup is very slow, un trust worthy. because it is usually only activated on the main C drive. because when every step has to do read/write on the same channel at the same time. I fixed this by dedicating the secondary channel to it. so virtual memory is used unless I put a c...
