Warlords III requires Windows XP to play, and preferably Windows 98. The Windows XP mode in Windows 7 doesn't work, even.

For tagging music, I've found MP3Tag to be useful and easy to but use. Bulk updates are nice, and easier than using the Properties window in Windows. For years I saved my MP3s as Artist.Album.TrackNumber.SongName.mp3, but a few songs break the Windows file name length limit using this convention. Thanks Rob Zombie: every song title should be 100 words long.. At any rate, just tagging the files makes this easier to maintain, at least for me. Edit: for clarification.

Is there any way to remove the annoying Skype "home page" on Skype for Desktop? It always looks weird to me to have some quirky young female actress adjusting a webcame half-looking at me.

I'm trying to upgrade my Clevo P150EM from Windows 8.1 Pro, and while Windows 10 installs, it fails on boot. I figure I'll do a clean install using the USB media approach. Upon creating it, the Windows media creator reminds me to have my product key handy. How on earth do I find out my Windows 10 product key, when I'm upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10?

Thanks. I was going to try a fresh install of 8.1 next using my recovery media. I can almost guarantee its the kludgy drivers from Clevo. Their hot key software breaks the wifi connection if you install the drivers in the wrong order, for goodness sake.

Twerk from Home posted:Bitlocker, Hyper-V, and remote desktop? I'm sure there's some other stuff. Strangely, my Toshiba Encore 2 Write never had the Pro version installed, but still had Bitlocker enabled. I couldn't access any Bitlocker settings, but there's a Bitlocker key for it in my Microsoft Account. Upgrading to Windows 10, the drive still seems to be encrypted. Is there a weird tablet SKU?

For Office 365 subscriptions, how can it tell if I'm installing on a PC/laptop or a tablet? I have the same Windows 10 on my Sager laptop as on my Toshiba Encore 2 Write tablet.

But its free for commercial use, I think. On an unrelated note, can anyone help by describing how I can configure an Asus RT-N66U home wireless router to prioritize VOIP traffic for Skype for Business? I work from home a lot, and am trying to do anything I can to help the audio quality. Teamspeak, Mumble, and normal Skype are all fine, so it may not be fixable on my end, but I'm willing to give anything a shot. Ynglaur fucked around with this message at 18:53 on Oct 12, 2015 |

I just installed Outlook 2016, and it refuses to connect to my Outlook.com account. I provide my email address (name@outlook.com) and my password in the Outlook pop-up box, but it never resolves. Has anyone experienced this and determined how to resolve it? My Outlook.com account works fine in the built-in Mail app and via the web interface.

In Microsoft Edge on Windows 10, folders in a Favorites menu open in a sidebar on the right-hand side of the screen, rather than just expanding into a sub-menu like in every other browser I've ever used. Is there a way to make Edge behave in that way? Slinging my mouse across a large monitor takes far more time.

I have a large (5000+ page) PDF file with 1 or 2 pages (variable) each dedicated to a particular employee. The employee's ID is on the first page. Is there any software that can automatically break up that file into the ~3000 sets of 1-2 pages for each employee, and name the resulting output file based on the employee ID (a text string) in the PDF page?

I have a question regarding Xmarks. Firefox, IE11, and Chrome all store bookmarks in the toolbar in folders that are named differently (see below). While Xmarks can sync bookmarks across browsers, I haven't figured out how to keep the bookmarks toolbars in sync, short of a lot of manual work. Does anyone have a good solution to this? Google and Wikipedia don't turn up any other cross-browser bookmarks syncing tool. Firefox - Bookmarks Toolbar Internet Explorer 11 - Favorites Bar Chrome - Bookmarks bar

It's not really a hassle, I was just curious to see if it could be done with the standard Groove Music interface, but it appears you can't. Ah well. I use Groove on my Samsung Note 5 all the time. Music is all loaded on OneDrive, and it works great.

Mr. Fix It posted:No offense guys, but you're making a whole lot of assumptions to back up your attempt to discredit lastpass. My only assumption is that since they are doing this for money they are properly motivated to prioritize security. If Brian Krebs or other reputable security experts start trumpeting that lastpass is not secure or they're too shady, they are dead. Hey, isn't Dropbox that company that exposed every single file to anybody with an Internet connection for about 24 hours a few years ago? Yeah, that was them. I'm sure having your local password database encrypted will save you from having it brute-force decrypted by the NSA though. Look, if a technology solution involves a human being coding it, it's not secure. Full stop. Hardware-based keys: do you control the fab? It's not secure. Proprietary software: do you trust every developer, and every person with access to the source code repository, and every developer who worked on the compiler used to compile the software? It's not secure. What we can do it take reasonable precautions against most potential threats. A car door lock will not stop a car thief with a decent tool set, but it will deter the casual joyrider. LastPass doesn't guarantee that my bank password will never be compromised, but it's still safer than leaving it on a sticky note on my keyboard, or storing it in an Excel file on a USB stick (which can be stolen), etc. Every security solution is just playing the odds, and the odds are never 100% in your favor. For some people and organizations, getting as close to 100% as possible is worth tremendous costs. See: nation-state intelligence agencies. For most people, it is not worth any cost, and you're deluding yourself if you think you're always more secure just because you're running your own hardware and software stack. </rant>

Does your argument fundamentally boil down to, "I think KeePass and 1Password's cryptographic implementations are more secure than LastPass'?"

I'm not downplaying the risk at all, and am well aware of the value of information. "It's used by Fortune 500 and is therefore a target" is fundamentally an argument for security through obscurity, which you've argued against (if memory serves ), so that's not compelling. You don't say that one cryptographic implementation is better than the other. So, what "fundamental " difference leads you to recommend one over the other?
