Yeah, we were actually chatting about it last night. He mentioned everything is fine—just dealing with some sinus pressure if he overdoes it, but nothing serious.
I don't know, I didn't find the movie particularly special. The concept was decent enough, and the acting wasn't bad, but overall, it felt like a rushed production—like they just threw everything together to cash a quick check and get out. I didn't feel even a hint of tension or any real empathy for the protagonist. The excitement and atmosphere were about as thrilling as watching someone whistle while buying groceries in their driveway for an hour. Honestly, it was a total miss compared to what the movie should have been.

Or, as it clearly states on their website:
Downloading movies is possible using a Chrome extension called Download Manager. This extension allows for a free movie download.
Nathan Castillo16 said:A coworker of mine messed up my computer by wiping Windows Vista and installing Windows XP instead. He left some old Vista files behind, but since the system is running on XP now, I'm totally lost. To make matters worse, he installed an English version of XP when I actually need the American version. It felt off from the start and everything has just been a mess.I don't really care about the old data; I just want to get my original Windows Vista back.
I definitely see what you're trying to do here. I've already outlined the steps for you to get exactly what you need...
Try hitting Alt+F10 right as you're booting up—you know, that split second when the screen says "Press F2 to setup" or something similar. That should trigger the recovery from the hidden partition, which basically just resets everything back to how it was when you first got it. I actually just did this on an Acer Extans a few days ago and it worked perfectly.
1. Honestly, there have been a few times where I hadn't even heard a whisper about a movie until people started buzzing about it. 2. Oh, for sure, I've run into several situations just like that example. Instead of some "stiff British expression," it was more like a pained grimace ala Ljuba Alicic in the "gloomy morning" music video, or maybe the face a kid makes when they're being lectured by a teacher. I have to admit, I get a little kick out of being the one to bluntly say a movie is absolute garbage.

It’s definitely not better; at least, I haven't seen any difference. Just go ahead and install Windows 7 HP.
I’m not quite sure where the hiccup is happening, because I just finished a download myself and everything worked perfectly. I actually use a few extensions for Chrome (there's one called video2mp3) so you might want to give that a shot if you're using Chrome...
Drew Harris2 said:The issue is that I usually just put movie files and SRT subtitle files onto a USB drive to play them on my home theater system. Even then, the subtitles can be really hard to read. Is there a way to edit them before I put everything on the thumb drive? If so, what software should I use?
We've all been there! You can use a program like AviADDXSubs (Jack Alvarez already mentioned this one) to hardcode the subtitles directly into the video. You could change the text color to yellow or add a black outline to the font so it pops. Once that's done, just save it to your USB stick and you're good to go.
Brandon Morris3 said:How can I tell if the CD is actually bootable? I've already downloaded three different versions of Windows and tried setting the boot device to the CD-ROM, then the secondary hard drive, then the floppy, and I keep resetting the computer to try and boot from it... but it just boots straight into Windows like nothing happened. 😕
How did you burn those Windows files onto the CD?
Roger Brown50 said:Does anyone know how to turn off those updates? Basically, whenever I shut down my PC, it says it needs to install something. It wasn't an issue before, but now every single time I power down, it tries to install about five items. I have a feeling they're the same ones over and over because it keeps trying to install them again, which is starting to get really annoying. Does anyone know how to disable or fix this? 😁 What is it even installing anyway? XP worked perfectly fine without all this stuff.
Just let it finish the installation once. If you're sure they're just updates, you can always disable Automatic Updates afterward.
@ Mirac7, that was quite the monologue... Did you realize you're replying to a post from the Black Sabbath era where it's pretty obvious the guy was just joking around? You seemed a little worked up over it. Take five 🙂
Give those settings in VLC media player a quick tweak. Try switching from VMR9 (renderless) to VMR7 (renderless), or vice versa, depending on what you have selected right now. You should be able to find those options under playback > output in the settings menu. Once you change it, just hit OK and try playing the video again.
Have you actually checked how it looks in File Explorer? To be honest, I'm not seeing any weird glitches on my end either—everything looks totally normal on the forum (those side gaps) and over on The New York Times too...
Just grab your wrench—go to Tag Manager, hit Organization, and you'll see an "Export Tags" option at the bottom. Save those somewhere safe, and once you reinstall Windows, just follow the same steps and select "Import Tags" to get everything back to how it was.
