I'll check to make sure it's disabled when I get home. I seem to remember disabling it when I put 8.1 on, but it doesn't hurt to double check. +1 karma to you and to redneckdude for his tip.
Thanks for following up, seadart. We don't get that very often and it helps to have feedback. +1 karma added to your profile. :)
Nice. There's no telling what good can come out of this type of technology. I seem to recall MS trying to limit the Kinect's uses in the beginning when people were using it to create 3-D art. It's good that they appear to have backed down from that stance.
Hi seadart. The game is trying to run full screen at 1024 x 768 and your first display is at 1366 x 768. The resolutions should be equal if you're going to run full screen. You have a few options. You can set your screen resolution to 1024 x 768, change the game's display to windowed or change the game's resolution to match your display. I've found that it's easiest to run the game in windowed mode. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the tips, Island Dog! [e digicons]k1[/e]
[quote who="kona0197" reply="7" id="3435233"] I think the only guy around here that never had an issue with Vista is Snowman. But then again Windows ME never gave me any issues. [/quote] I never had problems with Vista and it's still on one of my machines. I was a late adopter and got it for free, so I considered it value for money. I like my Win 8.1 machine too. The OS cost a whopping $40.00. It has Start8 on it, so it's pretty nice. The best $
It seems that HP agrees that the Win8 UI is problematic. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2089403/ouch-hp-brings-windows-7-back-by-popular-demand.html Sure, MS is rumored to be perhaps thinking about maybe bringing the start button back. I wonder if this might open their eyes a bit. :)

[quote who="coyote303" reply="5" id="3429416"]I am spending a lot of time with Endless Space. I prefer turn-based games, which the OP does not. However, in multi-player, you play your turns simultaneously, so there is little waiting around.

I grabbed the "Complete Edition" along with Endless Space Gold. I tried out Endless Space last night and it seems like a nice game. A tad slow in the beginning, but that's pretty normal for a 4x game. I should be able to waste quite a few hours on it.
[quote who="Jafo" reply="71" id="3429084"] Pick any year you want that equates with actual pitbull ownership. Pit dogs is a fairly recent brutalistic 'sport'...so the animals bred for it won't necessarily date back to the dark ages....and nor will stats. I can't be bothered educating you by listing the stats....look for them yourself.....it's called being a grown-up. You 'must' be a pit owner...good luck to you....just d

I wouldn't go as far as Jafo, but pit bulls and kids are a bad mix. Kids > dogs, so the dog would have to go. There's too much evidence that pits can turn on kids. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against pit bulls. We have two, but we also don't have any kids in the house. When we have company over, we put the dogs in the back yard and lock the doggie door. If the dog has snapped and growled at you and your children, it r

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="86" id="3427399"] Which is why it was Windows 8 = Bye, bye Ballmer.[/quote] That was a good first step. If MS brings the start menu back, it would be another. There was a good amount of hype and expectations when MS announced that they'd bring the start button back in 8.1. It was such a disappointment. Our software vendors don't support W8/8.1 and they seem to be taking a wait and see approach. In the meantime, in
[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="65" id="3427089"]Whether you call it W9 (or in the case of Vista SP2 needed to fix Vista). Windows 7 was a de-kludged Vista... the point is that what's really missing from W8/8.1 is the "windows for apps", being able to work side-by-side and the functional start menu. That is W8 + Start8 and ModernMix equivalents. You can call that W8 SP2, or W8.1 SP2, or Windows 9. The semantics are immaterial. At least I'm defining what it

I like the newer ship designs in TotA though. The long ships seem to be based on the Honor Harrington missile ships and then there's the Borg Cube.

Yeah. I'm not even sure if our old tactics would work with TotA. Some probably would, but likely not all. I'm doing all labs on my current game. I doubt that I could win on suicidal with a balanced approach. My starting position was great. I started almost smack dab in the middle of the map. With the Terran diplo skill, it was the best place to be. I got an econ event that turned the game around, too. It didn'
Anno looks pretty nice. 15 bucks for the whole banana is pretty good too. Are the Demigod servers still up? I haven't played that since forever. I'm not even sure if my skype package works anymore.

They wanted me to move ships out of their territory. Those ships
