DirectDraw Emulation Is Broken In Windows 8/8.1
by Guest Vince800- 0 replies
- 405 views
So this is the 3rd place I've been asked to post this after Technet & MSDN. There seems to be an issue in Windows 8/8.1 with DirectX and its DirectDraw emulation. Certain games which use DirectX9 & older run at very low framerates compared to Windows 7 & Vista which to my understanding also emulate DirectDraw. There are numerous threads about this on the Internet, below are some examples of this: Neowin - "windows 8 warning for old games" EightForums - "old games are very slow" Microsoft Answers - "old games slow on windows 8" Eight Forums - "How to play old DirectDraw games on Windows 8?" Steam Forums - "Poor performance in Windows 8" …

Server 2012 - merge folders as default?
by Guest Ze Blade- 0 replies
- 274 views
Hi, I've just been playing around with a student copy of Server 2012, trying to catchup on the changes (after taking a few years out of working in IT to study a degree). One thing I've noticed is that if I copy a folder on top of another folder the default behaviour is to merge to two folders without asking for confirmation (I'm sure this was never the case on any other version of Windows??? Actually scrap that, I just tried it with Windows 8 and was surprised to find out it happens on W8 too, although it doesn't happen on Windows 7!). I'm 99% sure previous server builds didn't do this (unfortunately I don't have one handy to test it). To give an example of…

download speed slower than upload speed

I have a computer running Windows 7 with abysmal download speeds (under 1 Mbps), but with upload speeds in the 7-8 Mbps range when using the wireless. When it's connected via a cable, my download speed is about 40-50 Mbps. The router is not the problem, as my wireless Xbox streams HD shows from Netflix.

Computer having frequent crashing issues
by Guest TKolbo- 0 replies
- 319 views
I've been having trouble with my computer over the last 2 weeks. I had two desktops, one of which I didn't use for an extended period of time. I decided to switch over the some parts from the other one to get the best of both. I booted it up, and updated everything. Drivers, OS updates. everything. It was running fine for a few days. Had it blue screen a few days later. Then it didn't do it again. I didn't fool with it as it didn't happen again for a few days, and I assumed it was a fluke. I left it alone, and a week later it happened again. I didn't get the error codes for either of these as I wasn't prepared for them. So I started keeping stuff in reach, and 7 days a…

Alternate Scanning Utility?

- 234 views
Does anyone know of any other scanning utility that is not based on Sane. My scanner a Canon CanoScan Lide 90 is not supported on Sane. I tried using Flegita, Gimp, Simple Scan, Xsane, Scanner Utility,and Gscan2pfd. They all seem to use Sane to work. I have even tried to open the Canon software in Wine but still can't get it opened up in Linux Mint 13. I only need to scan once or twice a month and have to dual boot into windows xp to scan which is a pain. Shouldn't Wine be able to open the canon program? Thanks John P Continue reading...

Would you want a round-faced iWatch? [Poll]
by Guest Joseph Keller- 0 replies
- 281 views
How would you like the iWatch to look? There's a financial analyst "report" going around that says Apple's rumored iWatch will have a round face, much like Motorola's upcoming Moto 360 smartwatch. That would suggest a more classical watch-like design, which would bring the product fully into the hyper-competive, often capricious fashion space. It would also be a stark contrast to the modern fitness bands that have been increasing in popularity over the years. Much has been said about the still rumored iWatch over the last year or more, including tie-ins with iOS 8 and Healthbook, and with the iPhone 6 expected to be released this fall. Will it be a fitness device…

iOS 8 wants: Pervasive inter-app communications
by Guest Rene Ritchie- 0 replies
- 306 views
Android has intents as a way to request an action from another app. Windows Phone has contracts and extensions to declare supported interactions. Apple added inter-app communication in iOS 7, but only for audio. That's why more pervasive inter-app communications remains one of the most requested features for iOS 8. So what is it and why is it taking so long? inter-app communication means different things to different people. For some it's the ability to push files from one app to another. For others it's the ability to pull data into any field in any app. For still others it's the ability to set default apps different than the current ones made by Apple. The core iss…
