I think he might be talking about the BIOS password... If that's the case, you'll probably have to pull the battery from the motherboard, wait a few minutes, and then pop it back in. You could also check the motherboard manual to see if there's a way to reset the CMOS using a jumper. Personally, I just always pull the battery.

Nah... It's actually pretty straightforward. Once you finally wrap your head around it, you're just like, "oh my god..." 😁 You running on broadband or still stuck with dial-up?

It’s pretty simple. Just install a keylogger. Get it running before the old man types in his password so you don't lose track. Then, boom, you're in. 😁

lol 🤣 I guess I don't have anything better to do than mess around with stuff like this. 🤣

Smart move... I guess. Better two hours of work than twenty minutes of nothing. 👍 😁

How exactly can you be so sure there’s a Trojan on there if not a single AV is flagging it?

Joseph Gomez24 said:get this, he's running Windows 95 off floppies... I've got Windows 3.11 for Workgroups spread across ten disks🙂 honestly, I keep everything. I've even got my old Amiga disks lying around. Probably won't ever use them again, but whatever, they're just keepsakes at this point.
Whatever, I have that too 😁 bundled together with MS-DOS 6.22, obviously 😬

Old timer 😁 Actually, it’s 14 floppies if you count the startup disk 😁 It runs on my laptop like crazy—25MHz and 3MB of RAM... I guess 4MB is the minimum, but I somehow managed to squeeze it down to 3MB with some tinkering 😁 My swap is 30MB 🤣

I've got Windows 95 on floppies myself 😁 Specifically, about 13 of them...

neontinker8 said:Look, I’ve learned that when you’re actually an expert in something—like you are in this field—it feels impossible to wrap your head around why someone who knows nothing would ask such mindless questions. It’s frustrating. For instance, I speak Italian because I lived there, and it honestly irritates me when I hear Americans trying to force the language and butchering the pronunciation. They're trying, I guess, and I'm not going to sit here and mock them for it, but it still gets under my skin.
That’s how I handle things too—just poking around my computer and Windows Vista, trying to run programs, messing up installations, making mistakes. I guess that's the only way to actually learn anything. And yeah, maybe 40GB sounded like a lot to me, which is why I brought it up. Now I realize that because of a botched installation, I probably won't be able to get AutoCAD or Photoshop to work. I'm hoping your explanation helps, but if I can't figure it out on my own, I'll just call in a professional. Next time, I'll avoid seeking help from people who might laugh at me just because I don't know my way around Windows Vista. Take care. 👋
Alright, I get it. My bad. 😉
Kyle Jones2 said:@ Thomas Hernandez21, which OS are you running personally? Windows Vista or XP? 😁
Windows XP on the desktop. 😁 Running both Windows Vista and Windows XP on a laptop. 😬 I only have Windows Vista installed just to poke around a bit. 😁

neontinker8 said:Since you're an admin, maybe you should try acting like a professional once in a while. Look, I’m no IT expert. I just described my experience using Windows Vista and how certain programs won't run—I don't know why they aren't working, they just aren't. Instead of mocking me, it would actually be more helpful if you explained exactly what was so funny about my post, where I went wrong, and how to fix this "mess" you claim I'm making. Best regards in your usual style—"go learn some manners."
Look, hold on a second... There’s so much noise over there that I honestly found it hard to believe you were being serious. You've got all kinds of trolls running around. Anyway, here's the explanation:
I used to download Windows Vista online first.
That was the first mistake right there. Updates mess everything up 99% of the time. They just create a total wreck. You really need to go with a clean install. Move your important files to a separate partition, put Windows Vista on another one, and then just move everything back once you're done.
I guess Windows Vista doesn't support AutoCAD.
It works for me. I use it every single day... 2007.
So Photoshop couldn't finish installing. I guess.
I use PlayStation 7 when I need to, and the radio works just fine.
Even Windows Vista alone took up 40GB.
So... Windows Vista comes on a single DVD, right? The installer is only about 2.5GB. If you end up with 40GB after everything is unpacked, that would mean some pretty insane compression is happening under the hood. Doesn't that seem a little excessive to you? 😁
All those issues you're having are probably—actually, they're definitely—caused by a botched OS installation.
Just do a clean install. You'll probably see better performance that way, I guess.

neontinker8 said:The whole process of installing Windows Vista and trying to get certain programs running—which it apparently doesn't support for some reason—was honestly pretty annoying. I did the installation online first, then I had to call Microsoft to get an activation code (had to wait two days since you can only reach Microsoft on business days). Once I thought everything was finally set, I tried to install AutoCAD and got a message saying Windows Vista doesn't support AutoCAD 😲 , then Photoshop wouldn't even finish installing 😠 , so I didn't bother trying anything else. Plus, Windows Vista took up 40GB, which seems like way too much given it doesn't offer anything significantly better than Windows XP. If you ignore these "glitches" preventing me from using the software I actually need, Windows Vista is okay, I guess. Luckily, I have an old laptop with Windows XP that I use for work, so this new one with Windows Vista is basically just for wasting time right now. I know you can dual-boot Windows XP on a new machine, but I don't feel like dealing with the hassle when I already have an alternative. Hopefully, they figure out compatibility fixes for these programs soon. Since I'm no computer expert, I wonder if I messed up the AutoCAD installation... but I think I did it right. 🤔
I don't know if this is some kind of joke... but if it isn't, maybe just go see a doctor. 🤣

So, just because something takes a long time to make doesn't mean it's actually good. 😕 Go ahead, try searching for "malware creation software." 🤣

I don't get how anyone claims Windows Vista runs "faster." Faster at opening windows? Or what? On the exact same machine, there's no way my Computer is going to boot up any quicker than my Computer. I guess Windows XP is just a solid OS for the average user. If you want Windows Vista, just install it and see if you actually like it. I don't see why you'd even need to ask someone before installing 😕

You'd love that, wouldn't you? But it just isn't happening. 😁
