Hello people out there who still use Windows Vista to this day, I wanted to tell you this is a topic about gadgets. This one is about the old Stocks gadget that some people used back in the day, but now it has stopped supporting. I couldn't find another gadget of this type, as they use Yahoo! Finance's csv files which they do not work anymore. This gadget used MSN Money service, with attributions.asp which it just goes to the error page of msn.com. That's just sad for most users. But I'm here to save this gadget. So guys, can we fix this gadget? I found moneycentral.msn.com in the code in loca ..read more

I recently reinstalled Windows but my computer crashes when i use photo software or any high demanding graphics applications. So i have turned off the computer manually several times in the last week.

How to clean Vista laptop before giving away? There's seemingly no recovery partition/disc....

I have an old Toshiba P205 laptop with Vista that an acquaintance wants to use to play some of his old HD-DVD discs. Which is great...much better than dumping in landfill. However, it seemingly has no recovery partition, no recovery creation tool, and I don't have any Vista Home Premium 32-bit discs to reformat the drive with. At least, if there is a recovery partition (there's an "EISA Configuration" partition), I can't boot to it. I've tried holding 0 (a long time) when powering the device on per the online manuals, but nothing happens. Any suggestions for how to reset this to factory def ..read more

After i reinstalled Windows I couldnt install Maxthon , Firefox or Opera browsers. I downloaded, installed and used all three before the reinstall. I was only able to install Firefox by using Internet Explorer when the box popped up it says open or save. I saved it and installed it, its the only browser i have to use now. I was able to install Opera and Maxthon by downloading them with Internet Explorer and when the box popped up that said open or save i choose open because they wouldnt save to my computer. But when i open Opera and Maxthon the pages dont show all the pictures and i get error ..read more

Hello! It is the first time that I've posted on a thread, so I hope I didn't mess up anything. So I'm currently using a Windows Vista SP2 32bit on my laptop, and I would love to have Onedrive installed. Therefore, I ran to the page from Microsoft stating the 'Desktop app for earlier version of Windows' as stated here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/onedrive-desktop-app-for-earlier-versions-of-windows-850703dd-ea56-4c7a-bff5-6c2e4da227cf Upon scrolling, I found a section named 'Windows 7 or Earlier', and downloaded the 32 bit version for installation, but it does not work when I t ..read more
