Just right-click and hit properties—then you should see the track number field somewhere in there, just change it

So... Windows update?

I'd say I'm about 45 😁

Man, I am such a sinner... 🙂

Yeah, the fn key function basically depends on your BIOS—so it doesn't really have anything to do with the OS itself, I guess
The fn key is usually a slightly different color than the rest of the letters, and then you’ll see different colored icons on the keys depending on which operation you're trying to run

Anyone else here who’s just a "normal" person wearing contact lenses?

I was just sitting here thinking about House M.D.—you know, that show where everyone is basically a genius but also kind of a jerk? Honestly, I can’t stop going back to it. There's just something about that specific brand of cynical, brilliant chaos that hits different. It’s probably the way the whole mystery feels less like a medical procedural and more like a gritty detective noir set in a hospital. I guess I just really vibe with how messy the characters are—they aren't your typical "heroic" doctors, which makes everything feel way more grounded and real. Maybe it's just me, but there's something weirdly comforting about watching someone solve impossible puzzles while being completely unapologetic about their flaws. kaže:
HELP!

So, I'm thinking about installing Windows 7... maybe.
So, I've got a few questions...

So, I was wondering—since I actually bought a legit license for Windows Vista—is it even possible to upgrade from there? I think I heard somewhere that you could maybe do it through...
Is it even actually possible to run an update... I mean, if it is, how do I go about doing that and where do I even start?

So, if it's not working—since I’m running two different OSs right now—and I actually want to wipe them both out just to start fresh with a single one, is there some kind of specific way I should handle the installation? I guess I just want to make sure I don't mess anything up while clearing the slate.
So, I'm thinking about doing this from a disc—either full games or just a bootable version—but honestly, is it going to be a massive headache to set up? I'm definitely not some kind of computer genius or anything, though I did manage to get Windows XP up and running once before.
I’ve never really been able to get the hang of Linux... so, uh, do you think I actually have a shot at making it work? Thanks!

If you can handle Windows XP, you’re basically set—you'll be just fine.
When you're doing the install, I guess you should just go ahead and format those two drives—just wipe whatever OSes you're looking to get rid of.

Don't sweat it—all your porn stays safe and sound on the other partitions 😬

I’m not exactly some hardcore audiophile or anything, but is that really something you need to worry about?
geez 🙄 (first time I've even heard of this, so that's my reaction) xD
Anyway, how do you actually "break in" speakers? (Just so I know what to look for when I eventually pick up some new ones)

yeah, lol—it says 7100 on your end, but the final build actually ends up being 7600 😬

I’ve actually tested this out on my sister's laptop with 512MB of RAM, and it works just fine.
Once you turn off Aero, the boot usage drops by about 350MB.
If you're running Firefox, MSN, the sidebar, and Avast all at once, you're looking at around 490MB used.
It's a bit of a squeeze—but honestly, it runs pretty smoothly.
That said, I’d still suggest having 768MB or even 1GB of RAM if you want things to feel really snappy.
I wouldn't say it's uncomfortable or anything, but yeah... it’s definitely not built for heavy multitasking.

I guess I wasn't that lucky, haha xD

I mean, come on, I'm not an idiot, lol

EDIT: thank god, I actually pulled it off—though maybe not quite how I pictured it would go🙂 Anyway, the main thing is that I finally have a backup copy

Noah Sanchez39 said:Looking at the screenshot, it looks like your backup location is set to "download Files" over on the H: drive. But wait—what’s the point of having that "Backup" folder sitting on the F: drive then? I guess it feels a little backwards, doesn't it? Wouldn't it make more sense to actually back up your C:, D:, and H: drives onto the F: partition instead?
So, you've got three physical drives—I'm guessing one internal (your C drive) and two external ones? My suggestion would be to use one external specifically for backing up your C drive, and then use the other one for all your "stuff" and "download Files." Just a thought, anyway. 🙂
Seriously though—please, just back up your files. I know it sounds like one of those annoying things people say when they don't have anything better to do, but man, you really don't want to be caught without a backup when everything goes south. I've been there, and trust me, it’s not a fun way to spend a weekend. Just grab an external drive or toss your important stuff into the cloud—whatever works for you—and get it done. It’s probably worth the five minutes of effort, I guess. Better safe than sorry, right?

I get that, I really do—and honestly, I want to make it happen too—but I just need to be able to run the backup specifically to the (H) drive.
That’s kind of where the issue lies, too...
So, I've got three internal drives sitting here—one's a tiny 40GB, then there's a 250GB, and finally a 1TB drive.
See, that's the whole catch—I just want to back up my Windows partition onto two different drives, you know? Just to be safe. I can easily move all my other stuff around wherever else I need to, but getting that OS part covered is what matters to me.
I'm thinking about backing everything up to my F and D drives—because hey, you can never have too much extra space, right? Better safe than sorry, I guess. 🙂)
And he's just giving it to me on (H)... I guess.

Maybe just grab the latest menu from the web—it actually works fine.
Man, I've got three physical disks here and I’m trying to squeeze everything onto two for a backup, but Windows is being a total pain and won't let me.
Basically, it'll only let me save to the third disk. Here's a screenshot.

Why does it say "System"?? Okay, I get that it's saving some Windows data to another drive, but why on two different ones, for crying out loud? Is there any way I can actually choose where all this junk gets stored?

A clone attack??????

nah, Avast actually rocks xD they have this free version that gets the job done perfectly, plus a Pro version if you feel like "treating yourself" 😬
errrm, for Office, you're probably better off just sticking with Office 2007—it runs without any issues, kind of like how Outlook works.
Though, I honestly don't get why people still use Outlook when they could just use Gmail or Yahoo Mail??
It's like, you're always worried about losing your contacts, or it takes up too much space on your hard drive, or it's just unnecessary, I guess xD
Oh, and what exactly is this OM version you're talking about?
From what I know, here in the States, Windows usually comes with both English and American language options. Maybe try going into the language and regional settings to change it, since I doubt you only have American installed.
Trust me, I felt the exact same way when I switched over to Vista—I had no clue where anything was—but once you get used to it, maybe in six months, you'll be able to sit down at XP 🙏
Like, "wtf, where did my start search go?" 🙏" 😬

What kind of tweaking are you even talking about?
Everything is just on default settings here. I haven't touched a single thing or tweaked any settings—except for the wallpaper, obviously. Not one single process has been messed with!!
Even my AutoCAD 2006 32 is running perfectly fine on this 64-bit version of 7.
Honestly, it feels like maybe you downloaded some super sketchy, unofficial version off some random site somewhere. 🙂
And that comment about uTorrent is honestly such a massive lol. I don't think I've even opened that program in ages xD
Never had a single issue with it.
Off-topic though—does anyone know if the Professional version actually comes with DreamScene?
I think that would be pretty cool, and I kinda miss it xD
But hey, even these wallpapers that rotate every 15 minutes aren't bad at all 😁 especially if you take the time to put together a really solid collection :ceek:
Did you guys see how many slideshow options they have over on the Microsoft website? 😍

So, here’s my first Windows setup that hasn't needed a reboot in 11 days straight 🙏

or just use the Snipping Tool, honestly
