That's pretty much it.👍

Larry Ortiz5 said:Did you actually install the GPU drivers yet?

I don't think so. The issue is—whenever I hit up Intel's site, since it just shows "HD Graphics" instead of a specific model, I'm stuck. Then I tried using System Requirements Lab to let it scan my hardware automatically, but it just sits there on "detecting/analyzing computer" and goes nowhere...

If it helps, the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C50-B-13F. 🤷

So, I just finished installing the 64-bit Ultimate version today. I fire up the laptop for the first time and—surprise, surprise—the theme is an absolute eyesore and the taskbar looks like a total disaster. It’s this hideous shade of gray that I honestly can't stand... anyway, I went to fix it, clicked the "change a color" button, and then this popped up:

What's the deal here? How do I get back to the way it was—you know, actually being able to pick colors like a normal person?

Daniel Palmer5 said:It’s entirely possible the keyboard just freezes the second you exit the BIOS—so while that "Press any key to boot from CD..." message is staring you in the face, you're hammering away, but the PC isn't getting any signal at all, causing it to just skip straight to the hard drive.

Check your BIOS settings to see if there's an option to enable USB support for the keyboard; if you find it, flip it on (there might be something similar labeled under general USB peripheral support).

Man, you're a lifesaver 👍

Thanks, it works! 😁

I checked everything and it all seems to be running fine...

Just wanted to point out that even after dealing with this mess, I went back into the BIOS and set the boot priority back to the hard drive just like before—but nope, still nothing. I'm getting that same error shown in the photo above. 😳

Alright, I’m in a bit of a bind here and could really use some help... someone handed me this CD, and let's just say it doesn't look like an official retail copy...

Basically, I popped the disc in, rebooted my PC, hopped into the BIOS, and set the CD-ROM as the primary boot device. Hit save and exit, the system restarts automatically, I see that "press any key..." prompt, and I hit a key—only to be greeted by this:



The problem is, my keyboard completely freezes up. I can't move anything, so I just have to sit there for about 30 seconds before it force-restarts itself, only to loop right back to the same damn screen...

Where did I screw this up, and how do I fix it? 🤷

You can just hop onto Pornhub and watch whatever you want—no holds barred. ☕

John Peterson3 said:Legendary?! 😂 🤣

Yeah. ☕

I'm with silvertiger11 on this one—I’ve never been much of a sequel person, and honestly, I doubt this is going to top the original. Still, I'll probably end up watching it anyway. 🙂

Three words: what are you talking about?

So, we finally have a sequel to the 2011 comedy classic *Horrible Bosses*. I’m pretty sure almost everyone saw the first one and actually laughed out loud—it was a good one.

The cast features Jason Sudeikis, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, and Kevin Spacey returning to their roles, plus we get Jamie Foxx, Chris Pine, and Christoph Waltz stepping in for supporting parts.

Dale, Kurt and Nick decide to start their own business but things don't go as planned because of a slick investor, prompting the trio to pull off a harebrained and misguided kidnapping scheme.

TRAILER

Hitting theaters in the USA on November 26th.

I've got Office 2013 installed, and right after I set everything up, all the icons were there and every single program was running just fine.

But then, about two days ago, I noticed that almost all the icons have vanished—except for Excel and PowerPoint. Don't get me wrong, the programs actually work, but they’re missing their little visual identities, if you know what I mean. Anyone have a clue what might be causing this?

Alright, looks like I’m the one stuck with this. 🤷 Can anyone help me out by bumping this image up to 75x75? Apparently, resizing images isn't exactly my forte—so if someone could just shoot it over to me via DM, that would be great.

Yeah, I use it. And honestly, the best I can squeeze out of it is 75x75. You can check the results right under my handle. ☕

Can we please change this ridiculous 75x75 thumbnail limit? It’s honestly pathetic.
Since when do moderators get to play by different rules regarding image constraints?

And seriously—why aren't regular users allowed to have "moderator-style" avatars?

It's a total disaster. Every time I find a decent image and try to resize it, it loses all its quality and looks like garbage. 😳

This is Technical support for Reddit. You should probably post questions like that over there in a PDF format. For education stuff, I think there’s actually a thread called Which high school should I choose?

When people decide to drop absolute novels in a thread. ☕

a, hold on a second... is the graphics card actually decent enough to handle newer series? (I was looking at GD—maybe medium to high settings, maybe one or two games on low?) Which one should I go for 😕

alright, thanks again 🙂

Jeffrey Peterson said:Either go that route or hunt down some used 4870, 5770, 6750, or whatever—just keep in mind they’re gonna cost more than the 4850 or 5570.

But honestly? If you aren't some hardcore gamer, the 4850 is perfectly fine. 🙂

Anyway, I found a 6670 at a great price and decided to pull the trigger on it.🙂
I'm not really a big gamer, but I'd love to play some of these newer titles... nobody's saying I need to run everything on ultra settings, so I'm pretty happy with the 6670. Thanks! 😉

Jeffrey Peterson said:Wait, what do you mean by "new" computer? You mean used, right? Because based on that processor name, there is absolutely nothing "new" about it. 😁 😬

As for the graphics cards—is the same guy selling you that PC also offering both of those cards, or is that someone else? And what's the damage? Honestly, you might find something way smarter on Craigslist... assuming you don't need everything to come from one single seller. 😉

Yeah, we're talking about a used rig—thanks to this recession, I guess. 😁>> The graphics cards are coming from the same guy... Anyway, I'm originally from Canada, so I doubt you care about prices in KM... Got any suggestions for a different card? I'm struggling here. 🙂 🙂 🙂

Which one? The GeForce GTX 4850 or the 5570?
