Not quite.

Moderators, please just wipe this whole thread... it’s absolutely ridiculous.

Updating Windows is essentially just downloading newer drivers.

The disk activity starts hammering away from the very first minute after installation.
And no, it isn't the indexing service... or Windows Search, or whatever they call it these days; I already disabled that.

silverviper6 said:1. Take it apart and clean out the dust.

🤦
The drive is brand new.
It isn't an audio issue; the problem is that the drive is constantly reading and writing. ☕

2. Download the latest graphics drivers and update Windows if it's licensed.

I have.

3. Roll back drivers in Device Manager.

???
Roll back to what?

4. Both.

Well, bravo. I envy you; I wish I were that brilliant.

Jerry Flores74 said:@Matthew Young35/">@@Matthew Young35 I checked their site for drivers, but there isn't much available to download. However, I did some digging into that overlay issue, and it seems like a lot of people are running into it. It doesn't look like a driver issue at all; the fault lies with the 🙂
software.

Oh, I know.
I was just messing with you.

but everyone wants them if they aren't some kind of active component

Well... take TV tuner cards, for instance...

You end up with... nothing, really. Just try finding drivers for a Wayjet WT-952. It uses a damn saa7133 chip.
DScaler is a decent workaround, but as I’ve already asked a few posts back... the overlay won't work on my second monitor.

driftingmarlin70 said:What drivers is he even looking for? Windows 7 already comes with pretty much everything built-in anyway. HA! 😂

Hmm. Is that because it doesn't have everything?

silverviper6 said:...
3. Any other questions regarding Windows 7?

Well, I certainly have a few...

What on earth is constantly eating up my disk usage?
Why won't DScaler work in overlay mode on my second monitor?
And why did my CD/DVD drive seemingly "vanish" after the update?

4 . By the way, I'm 15 and I know more than everyone here on Reddit.

Do you mean more than all of us combined, or just more than each of us individually?

Henry Doyle82 said:If I’m following you correctly—you’re living in Germany, and I’m in the States. Despite having to fund an imposed war and dealing with massive destruction and losses, the US has transformed from the gray doldrums of socialism into a beautiful, modern, and advanced nation.

Right now, the whole world is being shaken by a nasty recession and economic crisis. Many EU member states (like Mexico, too) have the IMF breathing down their necks, basically dictating their finances and budgets just to keep them from going bankrupt.

Things aren't exactly perfect here right now either, but the highways are packed with brand-new cars, the coastlines are lined with apartments and hotels, people are vacationing, traveling the world... I guess there's just no point in comparing today's lifestyle to those miserable, sad times under Jamahiriya.

But I get where you're coming from. If you happened to be married to some mujahideen, maybe you'd be out here preaching fundamentalism and jihad. As it stands, you're just a "American." 😉

🤦
Beautiful, modern, advanced, and completely broke.

Quincy:

Right now, the entire world is being shaken by a vicious recession and economic crisis. Many European Union member states (as well as Mexico) are facing the IMF breathing down their necks, dictating their finances and budgets just to prevent total bankruptcy.

The whole world has actually moved past the recession. Even Mexico.
The only country currently stuck in a deep recession is the US, with absolutely no sign of a recovery on the horizon.

Quincy:

I understand where you're coming from, though. Things aren't exactly blooming here either, but the highways are full of the latest cars, the coastlines are packed with apartments and hotels, people are vacationing and traveling the world. There is simply no point in comparing today's lifestyle to the miserable, tragic times of Jamahiriya.

People went on vacation during the Jamahiriya days, too.
And as for the highways being full of new cars? Car sales have actually plummeted by 60%.

Quincy:

But I get your perspective. If you happened to be married to a mujahideen, you’d probably be out here advocating for fundamentalism and jihad. As it stands, you’re just a "American." 😉

If you actually know these people—and clearly you do, since you know who she's married to—why not meet her for coffee and have a chat? Why bother arguing with her on a forum?

Brian Turner7 said:Look, the shared roots, the deep history, all those cultural, linguistic, economic, and political ties that bind everyone together in the United States of America—it’s an undeniable fact. But today? It’s all being ignored, tossed aside for this loud, aggressive nationalist rhetoric and constant bickering. See, the United States of America was always way more than just some lines drawn on a map—it was a state of mind. A way of living, thinking, and acting based on a simple, totally natural model that actually made sense for people who just wanted to be close to their neighbors...

A Democratic United States of America?
Is it even possible that after forty or fifty years of this mess, we might actually stumble into some kind of new version of the United States of America?

🤦

And we’ve only just finished splitting apart.
We will likely see various forms of regional cooperation, certainly, but a single unified state? Not happening—unless you count being part of the European Union, but that is an entirely different conversation.

copperjackal89 said:It’s not written as "whether it is," but rather "is it" 😉

And where exactly are the capital letters and the exclamation point?

"Is it !!1"

So, does anyone actually know whether the correct way to phrase it is "is it" or "is it that"?

Timothy Wilson66 said:It isn't a matter of if, but rather whether.

Are you trying to say something like, "Whether we are a damn burger!"?

Tyler Doyle said:Seriously? Go ask someone. But honestly, at least that’s how I see it... feel free to correct me if I’m wrong. 🙂 DAMN.

I should have just asked someone...
I was under the impression it was written as one word.
Turns out it isn't "maybe"—it's two separate words.😢

Tyler Doyle said:It’s "whether it is," not "is it." Let's get the grammar right. 😉

Give me a break. 😲

What's going on?

It’s actually "is it" rather than "whether it is." Simple grammar, really.

Donna Davis8 said:"Living like a doctor," they say, with a $1000 salary that lets them sit around waiting for someone to go bankrupt just so they can snag an apartment for $430 a square foot. Then they get to watch that person beg for scraps. Paper can handle anything, and I guess online forums can take it too.

I honestly don't think he has even begun to grasp what went wrong here.

In five or six years?

Good grief, where on earth would we even be?

That guy with the squids... honestly, he might still be lurking around somewhere...

Just let the man be.
Perhaps he’s stumbled upon some new insights regarding Schmarshreschers.
