As for the health issues, I'm sorry to hear you've got more trouble. It's hard to hit back when it's your own body out to get you.

Re: Your Desktop (HARDWARE EDITION!)
AMD A8-7600 Kaveri 3.1GHz Quad Core
Motherboard FM2+
Ram 8GB DDR3
500 GB HDD
Radeon R7 2GB
PSU 500W
It's nothing much, but this is my first AMD computer and I'm quite surprised that this spec could run a number of games very well. I am very surprised that these specs could run GTA 5 on Normal settings at 40 FPS which I think is really good for an APU with an integrated graphics card (Radeon R7). I am currently using this just for general browsing at home and occasional gaming and I'll just use my laptop for my college work and DJing. I'm planning to maybe install a proper graphics card on this even though I am very satisfied with the current one

Re: Your Desktop (HARDWARE EDITION!)
My generic PS3-style controller doesn't work with a lot of games, so I broke down and got a PowerA XB360 wired controller. A couple months in and the right trigger stopped working. If I took it apart, I could get it working for a few days, but I went and got a MS XBOne controller. Within an hour the A button started sticking, so the next day I got a replacement for it. It works, but randomly drops the bluetooth connection sometimes.
What has been your experience with the F310? I almost bought it when I got the first PowerA controller because it has layout closer to PS controllers.

Re: Your Desktop (HARDWARE EDITION!)
Please let us help, Gunny. I hated WIn10 as well, but finally it started working for me. (even my flight sim controller software). We worry because having any internet connection on an Xp machine is very, very risky security rise.Gunny wrote: ↑Wed Jan 09, 2019 9:41 pmI got the new computer set it up, and will be sending it back lock, stock, and windows[sucks]10. Ys will not function, and my flight sim controllers software is corrupted and useless. What a disappointing letdown this was. Well back to the tried and true XP for me.
I've run 2011-2018 YS versions on windows 10. What messages were you getting?
