I am also happy. The next systems the network here will be going to will be fully 64 bit. Now that I have spent the cash on upgrading supernova there is finally no reason not to stay back. When this system dies I will be switching fully over to 64 bit. However 32 bit will probably have to

Well, I was able to do that in vmware with help of a friend who wrote a fake braile n' speak in python that used espeak. The problem is it was running on COM8, and while for screen readers you could force the installer to go to com8 for the synth, dosbox's config only will accept com1-4. It's

Hi Angela, Since we have not heard from a moderator on the subject, I do believe that we are allowed to post log files of games to the list. Probably the game that has been posted most would be Pipe 2 Blast Chamber. But we have also seen golf log files as well as Awesome Homer and Mach 1

Hi Shaun, I don't see any need to hang onto XP for gaming. My new laptop, which is 64-bit, runs all of the VB 6 games from Jim Kitchen, GMA, etc just fine when I turn off User Account Control. Its all a matter of getting the correct dependencies installed, and most of the VI games will still run

Hi Charles, Well, to be honest it is a simple issue of supply and demand as you know. While all of the new desktops and laptops I've seen out on the shelves at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Staples, Office Max, etc are all 64-bit systems running Windows 7 that doesn't mean this community will upgrade
