was able to download 10. It took about 2 hrs. the one thing that is definitely different in the browser, are the
missing bars. its funny how we get used to stuff. I guess there will always be a learning curve with new things.

Thanks Chuck,
I won't have time for a few weeks to download. I have a laptop and a desktop I'm itching to update.
take care,
Pat

Hi Brian,
It's funny you mention about the features that will be lost in the upgrade to 10. I just finished reading that. I think I will wait and see how things shake out with the upgrade.
Thanks,
Pat

It will be a shame if besttechie goes away. throughout the years I know I have gotten so much needed help from so many knowledgeable people. It has been great to come here and just say hi to all. With all the changes in os's and such I am surprised there is not more traffic. I hope things do pick up.

Hi Pete,
I don't think windows 8 and xp play well together. xp uses a work group name and windows 8 uses a password. From what I read Microsoft says you can only network windows 8 with nothing older than windows 7. (I could have read that wrong)
Hi Chuck,
Thanks I did not even think of a flash drive. It would have saved a lot of wear and tear on the eyeballs.
greatly appreciate input from you both. This new windows is going to take some getting used to! After about 10 years with xp it was like an old pair of comfy shoes.
take care,
Pat

Greetings all,
I final bit the bullet and got a new computer w/ 8.1. I want to know what I can transfer from xp home 32 bit to windows 8.1 64 bit (if anything). I have done some reading and it says the transfer wizard will not work but, I can go through a Microsoft website and as long as both computers have internet access do the transfer that way. Any help as always would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Pat

Greetings all,
I was trying to reinstall xp on my computer before april 8th, I did not get the chance. Is it too late to get all the updates up until microsoft pulled support? I had not done a reinstall in years and I just remember the computer running much faster. (can't quite make the jump to a new computer yet )
as always any help is greatly appriciated.
thanks,
Pat

Greetings to all. I also look back at the ttv days fondly. It was a great place to get help when needed, and to keep in touch with good people. (even before social media) Heck when I started watching ttv and coming on the forums I had gotten a second had computer and barely knew how to push the power button. I always appriciated the help and learned a lot. Even though I don't post much I stop in when I can. I have been around less in the last year because we moved into our first house about a year ago and between that and the job it has been busy to say the least. I still enjoy seeing posts from old frends and seeing post from new members. I also remember friends that are no longer with us, Gary, Marty, Marsh, Antonio and all the rest. I hope this place stays around for a while. It's still a good place, and I can say my life is better for knowing you all.
Thanks,
Pat

Greetings all,
I stop in from time to time to say hello, but can't remember the last time I had a problem. I have one now. I noticed the other day on IE that when I used the scroll everything on the screen moved like a wave. I went to device manager and saw a yellow exclamation point next to video controller. When I went to properties it said the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28), and it gives no manufacturer. I have tried to install drivers and it says it can't find them. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. This is an old emachines box.
thanks,
Pat

what are your thoughts on windows 10
in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

what are your thoughts on windows 10, the good, the bad and the ugly. I would appreciate the input.
I am trying to decide weather to roll back or not. I know they streamlined the browser, to me it seems like you can't do as much as you can with IE.
Thanks,
Pat
