Hello again everypony
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:29:44 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Hi there, back from work?
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:30:19 UTC from web-
@nerthos Sure am!
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:35:41 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Do you happen to know how to resize icons on win7? I'm fighting with that since three hours ago.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:36:40 UTC from web-
@nerthos On the taskbar or elsewhere?
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:37:45 UTC from web-
@redenchilada On the desktop. They're huge.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:39:03 UTC from web-
@nerthos I want to say it's somewhere in Appearance on the control panel, but I can't check right now. I never adjusted the size of my icons.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:40:58 UTC from web-
@redenchilada I just found a bigger problem. System protection for retarded users. This thing doesn't let me enter system folders. If not because XP doesn't support this hardware, I would uninstall this OS right now.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:43:54 UTC from web-
@nerthos Really? You can't just click "show anyway" or something?
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:45:36 UTC from web-
@redenchilada It says my account doesn't have permissions to enter it. I installed the OS, it's the only account besides from the Admin account from the other boot mode. I hate this retarded OS. Now to spend another hour fighting with that too. If not for the general ignorance of the users, this wouldn't happen.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:50:26 UTC from web-
@nerthos Working IT for somepony, or just get denied permissions on your own computer?
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:52:28 UTC from web-
@eaglehooves My own computer. I installed this obnouxious OS today, out of necessity, because the hardware doesn't run in XP.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:54:33 UTC from web-
@nerthos Win7 usually isn't too bad. I still have to use Linux for cleanup every now and then. Apparently it has no respect for whatever was blocking me from cleaning up a few things.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:58:52 UTC from web-
@eaglehooves It can't even see the Windows File permissions, so it just does whatever it pleases
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:01:00 UTC from web -
@eaglehooves Win7 is for users, that's the problem. It's perfect for them, they simply click icons and "uninstall" programs deleting the desktop icon. For people like me, who like to play and customize the OS, it's awful.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:01:46 UTC from web-
@nerthos Yea, that gets annoying. I find Macs even harder to service. Windows I can usually fix when it does silly junk like that, Macs I just stare blankly and reboot till they look good.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:05:55 UTC from web-
@eaglehooves I thought the solution to Mac problems was "throw it out, buy another".
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:07:05 UTC from web-
@redenchilada For that kinda money? Everypony's too cheap for that around here.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:08:23 UTC from web-
@eaglehooves Ssh, don't tell that to Apple.

@eaglehooves Fixing it is not so much of a problem, but making it usable? I just can't. I want my XP back.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:07:36 UTC from web-
@nerthos Honestly, once it looks like you want it to, 7 has a lot of niceties that XP doesn't. Like the search function in the taskbar!
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:09:12 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Yeah, I'm getting used to it slowly... maybe in a week I'll be hating it less. Now I have to find a way to adapt an IDE HDD to my Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard to copy everything from the old PC.

@nerthos I dunno. I resisted 7 forever, then the university subsidized a new laptop, but would only give me a license for 7, and after a few months it grew on me.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:09:34 UTC from web-
@eaglehooves Ï just installed it because I bought new hardware saturday and I can't run XP on a Phenom 1100t+ATIHD6870+8GBRAM+2TBHDD
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:12:04 UTC from web-
@nerthos 8GB of RAM? Bluh, you people and your more than 4GB.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:12:56 UTC from web-
@redenchilada Yeah, I know, it's useless, but I just bought it because it was cheap and that way I don't have to buy more in a couple of years.

@nerthos @redenchilada I just got 16 gig of RAM :P - Also, if you get the XP 64bit version you can run it.

@mrdragon Now go run enough programs to use it all up. Get your money's worth!
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:16:14 UTC from web -
@mrdragon 1333, 1600, 2000 or 2333?
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:16:19 UTC from web-
@nerthos 1600, anything higher and I was looking at stupid prices.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:16:53 UTC from web-
@mrdragon Oh, same as mine, my motherboard supports 32GB 2000+, but I couldn't find anything higher than 4GB/slot at 1600 at good prices. I bought two of these ones http://www.kingston.com/latam/hyperx/products/blu.asp
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:22:00 UTC from web-
@nerthos Mine stops at 1600, can't go any higher. It's about three years old now.
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:24:15 UTC from web-
@mrdragon I bought mine three days ago, third motherboard of the brand. There's only two better models.

@mrdragon Yeah, I have CDs for all the WinXPpro and some Home editions around the house. But with this hardware is more cons than pros.

Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:52:48 UTC from web-
@redenchilada That's the next step. Dumb Windows.

@nerthos Desktop icons? I just turned them all off. The controls for the start menu icon size are in the properties menu by right clicking it
Monday, 05-Dec-11 19:00:31 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark I found the start menu ones already. But I'm used to XP size icons, that don't use half the screen.

@ceruleanspark Hay there! Thanks again for helping! #hugs How are you? :3
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:32:13 UTC from web-
@pinhooves I'm OK. Neurotic about ridiculous things. How're you?
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:36:05 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Doing alright. Got better sleep than last time. :3 What's ridiculous?
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:40:39 UTC from web-
@pinhooves Don't really wanna talk about it on here, but it's just something weird that I'm worried about
Monday, 05-Dec-11 18:58:50 UTC from web-
@ceruleanspark Okay, that fine! Don't worry about it. :3
