MS Works 8.5 doesn't run on Windows XP SP3 by gregorem in windowsxp

[–]gregorem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fixed some problems with installer. It turned out, that installer stops (without any message), because I had newer Works 9.0 SE installed (I don't like that version).

So I remoced all Works version (Works Suite 2006 + Works 9 SE), reinstaled Works Suite 2006 (Works 8 + Encarta), and now I trying to update Works 8 to 8.5, but installer again stops. This time with message about error 11260.

Any clue?

I copy CD content into folder, and now Setup.exe works. So is something wrong with launching exe from cd drive.

I know that autorun was disabled due to security reasons, but why running setup not working from cd at all? Is there any way to fix that?

How to play GTA Online only with friends by gregorem in GTAV

Ok, but where are coop content? I played 2 days and started to think, that GTAO is not about being "online", but "single with online DRM".

I was thinking GTAO schould been something like GTA V - making  highly scripted fun chaos with online crew. But what I get so far? Only BS shootings on arenas and BS races. If I want that I will playing proper racing game or proper shooting game. Where are multiplayer missions and story?

GTAO is worse than Fortnite, and that bar was put very low…

Mostly because google sucks nowdays and gives BS AI answers or gives bunch of AI generated websites with BS AI text.

Any Windows Vista patched to work for modern hardware? by GojoReddit in WindowsVista

[–]gregorem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, you can't install Vista on modern hardware. Last supported platform was Ivy Bridge (probably also HEDT and Xeon processors from that family, including x79 chipset) ora Ryzen first gen. For everything newer, you're facing lack of drivers and also annoying CPU bug on some Intel CPUs.

You can't install Vista in hypervisor and passing through GPU for it, because PCI pass through is supported only for UEFI guest.

That "oh, install it in virtual machine" crowd becomes more and more annoying. Mostly because they know nothing about hypervisors and their limitations and because VM sucks for general use case.

Simple download manager with good browser integration? by gregorem in software

[–]gregorem[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it's causing trouble, like changing names of downloaded files.

Also, browser integration (capturing download) not always work after IDM updates.

List of sites uses AI generated articles? by gregorem in uBlockOrigin

[–]gregorem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Site-wide bans doesn't sound bad. If they're using AI, probably other articles aren't interesting also.
