Noah Roberts46 said:Why is Marilyn Monroe still such a massive icon today? Honestly, the way women obsess over her is what really trips me out. If you look at the facts, she was just a cheap little social climber, an incredibly average actress, and clearly a total nightmare to work with on set. Sure, she was a fashion icon and a sex symbol, but there are a million girls like that walking around every single day.
You hit the nail right on the head, because she was just an ordinary woman when you realize there are a million beauties more stunning than her walking down any street in America. She didn't command attention through her acting talent, but rather by being a high-profile mistress to powerful men, including even the President of the USA. And the whole reason her death still grabs headlines is because people prefer the mystical, tragic legend over the reality that she might have been taken out by some shadowy government agency.
Kenneth Cruz67 said:Just grab the Windows files straight from the Microsoft site and pick the option to create a bootable USB. I honestly don't get why you're even bothering with Rufus in the first place.
Trust me, I already gave that a shot. Now, what am I actually supposed to use to build the damn boot USB?
Look, I’ve already tried that whole workaround, but it’s just not working, plain and simple. Here are some shots of my BIOS settings so you can see what we're dealing with

Kenneth Cruz67, you finally fixed it, so thanks a million for that. Now I’ve run into yet another headache, trying to get Windows 10 installed from a USB drive. Look, I’ve reinstalled Windows hundreds of times on countless different machines, including my own, so I know what I'm doing, but this is something else entirely. I tried working on an HP one day and then moved over to my Dell, and neither of them will budge; they just keep throwing that security boot fail error right back in my face. I’ve spent days messing around with BIOS settings, burning multiple Bootable USB drives using both GPT and MBR options, but nothing works. I even cycled through Rufus and the official Microsoft Windows 10 Media creation tool, and still, I'm getting nowhere. Whenever you find a spare moment, I’d really appreciate it if you could help me out here. In the meantime, I’ll put together a detailed breakdown with some screenshots and text so we're on the same page.
No, I am absolutely not trying to do that, and honestly, I only posted that image so people would stop pointing me toward that specific path since that option simply doesn't exist on my version of Windows 10 Enterprise.
I went ahead and tried switching my boot speed from normal to fast. I actually spent some time following the various tutorials on YouTube, but I hit a wall because the option shown in the video just isn't appearing on my screen:

For context, I'm working on a Dell XPS 15—it's a 17.3" machine with a Core i7 4700MQ, 32 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD, and a 1 TB HDD.
Larry Ortiz5 said:You didn't really give me much to work with here... what's the actual make and model of the laptop you're using? If this is an older machine, we might be looking at a physical issue with the hard drive—especially since you mentioned the installation keeps cutting out. P.S. Are you getting a specific error message or something else?
I ended up fixing the issue by just selecting a quick format during the setup process, and everything seems to be running fine now. I did run a diagnostic on the hard drive first, obviously, because this thing is ancient—it's an eMachines, and honestly, it's struggling with a measly 900 MB of RAM. I actually tried installing Windows 10 just to see if it would take, and while it installed without any issues, the whole thing was painfully slow, so I decided to go back to Windows XP, which runs perfectly fine on this hardware.
I'm trying to get Windows XP running on this old laptop because it’s only got 900 MB of RAM to work with, but I'm hitting a wall. I went into the BIOS and switched everything over to IDE mode, but when I start the installation, it hits a massive snag during the formatting stage; it just hangs right around 11%, and sometimes it won't even get past 4%. I've tried a bunch of different XP ISOs, all loaded onto a USB stick, but for some reason, this specific machine just refuses to cooperate. I've actually managed to install Windows 7 and Windows 10 on it before, but let's be honest, they run like absolute garbage on this hardware. If anyone out there has a clue what might be causing this, I'd really appreciate the help—it's an eMachine laptop. Just so you know, I made the bootable USB drive using Rufus.
The movie is absolutely top-tier, just like everything else I watch, and I’ve always had a massive soft spot for Tarantino films, plus that joke was pure gold.
The movie itself is a tragedy, but the real disaster is what they've done to an otherwise functional nation... honestly, we should just go ahead and do the exact same thing to the USA.
I couldn't even sit through more than an hour of this garbage without feeling like I was losing my mind... it's nothing but a blatant propaganda piece and a total waste of time...
Lately, I’ve been running into this absolute headache with Gmail again, where it just refuses to send anything from any single address I try using. It isn't just me, either; everyone I've helped set up on my system is hitting this exact same wall because the whole thing has just flat-out quit on us. It's completely stopped working, and all I get is this error message shown in the picture:
restlessdrifter12 said:But I already mentioned that IncrediMail absolutely refuses to accept my Hotmail account—even after I followed every single instruction to the letter! I’ve entered all the necessary credentials for my email (whether it's Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.), yet I am constantly hit with this message: logon failed—and I am certain my username and password are correct, as I've double-checked them myself.
Look, I use Hotmail with IncrediMail without any issues, but if you're trying to use Yahoo, it won't work unless you're paying for their premium service.
I went through all the motions, completely wiped everything and reinstalled the exact same latest version of the app, but I’m still staring at the same damn problem, and I already told you I even rolled my entire system back to the day I first installed it...
Is anyone else here using Gmail? Because I’m staring at this screenshot and I can't for the life of me figure out what's going wrong: I feel like I've tried absolutely everything under the sun, from nuking the app and reinstalling the exact same version to trying out the latest update, but nothing sticks. I even went as far as performing a full system restore since I had a backup saved from back when everything was actually working perfectly, yet here I am facing the exact same damn issue...
