Abacus?

Where is everyone? My 'theory.' The biological imperative that catapults a species to dominance on a planet tends to prioritize short term 'rewards' over long term concerns. We make a Midden of the planet. Like Bo's sidekick said to the uber-druid tree lady (lost Girl series - paraphrase): We're humans - we drive SUVs, and we'll happily fry the planet if it means one last cheeseburger.

I've been away for a year. Finally back on line. Retired - LOL. Medicare - oye. Anyway - my old rig is maxed out. Still can't run Witcher 3. Or oldrim... very well, or skyrim VR. So, looking at new PC. Research - its all very complicated now. (Or I've been out of the loop too long.) I'll also want to play the rainbow (Clancy) games. Never have - but the vids look good.

I have about 1,000 - 1,500$ US available for a new gaming desktop PC. Prefer Nvidia. Want to run Witcher 3 with higher end graphics, heavily modded Skyrim (oldrim). Not sure I can really upgrade my current PC (i3, sabertooth, gtx 670 ftw). Would like to stay with win 7 (as 10 will probably soon be a monthly subscription revenue stream for MSoft). What would you do with this? Future upgrade paths considered. Appreciate community wisdom...

My PC, which was off line for about a month (problem with video feed, now fixed) now reports that my windows 7 is not authentic. A pop up appeared when I booted saying that there is an issue with my windows. (I ignored because many scammers send fake messages to philsh one. Also, tiny text message in lower right corner of screen saying windows installed in not authentic. This is bogus. Windows installed on PC is same one that been on all along - installed on ma

Haven't added any helpers to opera. (Opera site had no help either - was part of the google/bing search I did.) Appreciate advice you have given. Will switch to another browser for the PDFs. Thanks again, :) :)

Opera browser goes into infinite downloading when attempting to dl PDFs. Continues until exiting Opera completing. Happens no matter what site I'm in. When I go to download folder, and delete all but one copy of pdf, then attempt to open it, infinite downloading begins again. Google-ing it not help. Anyone know about this? how fix?

Congrats to all! :)

Yes, her music is brilliant. Engages both my heart and my mind.

Ah, intentional Darwin award submission? (Seriously, very sad Rubin felt so bad, endured so much pain, that he felt suicide was only viable remedy. I'm sad at Rubin's decision.)

^ This ^ I picked up a lenovo, mostly for word processing and vids. It won't sleep either.

Wonderful mod, love the colors! :) :) :)

[quote who="LightStar" reply="6" id="3669784"] Slim Cleaner is not as good as Wise Registry Cleaner, and it is free also. I also recommend Wise Uninstaller, another excellent free product. [/quote] how does wise un-installer compare to revo un installer. in your experience? and starkers, very good advice. Thx :) :) :)

My kinda software. may happy accidents inflict themselves on you with higher frequency!

Agree wholeheartedly! Wait and see what shaking the trees reveals.

Slim drivers did well. :) i was careful, but slim-cleaners installed as well. Whats your take on slim cleaners? Lightstar -you are a star!
