I'm pretty sure I found somewhere a version of ctmouse.exe with y axis inversion. Oh, here it is: Mouse Y-axis reverse?

Only one SATA? That's... not much... As for the PS/2, having two of them without any need for adapters is handy.. I'm using a PS/2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse on my main Ryzen PC right now.

I have a Q9550 build in a Modecom Oberon Pro Silent white. It has two 5.25" bays, which I haven't yet put to use, but one day I may put an older mainboard there together with an optical and floppy drives (the latter with an adapter to fit the 5.25" bay). The Q9550 runs considerably cooler than in …

Re: Windows XP: audio delay on MS-DOS 3D games

You may try changing some settings in vdms.ini and find a sweet spot between sound being choppy and having too much of a delay. But, there are better ways of running these games nowadays, like DOSBox and Windows ports of the games.

Re: Is it Possible to install a 1996, 3.5", 3 disk Generic CAD Program into DOSBox?

If it's a DOS program with a DOS installer then it will probably work, but keep in mind that DOSBox is intended for games, and business applications are not officially supported in case of problems…

Did any netbooks come with non widescreen ratios? The netbooks I'm talking about, the ones that started with EEE 701, were all widescreen 800x480 / 1024x600 (afaik). Later there were 1366x768 ones as well. I have two Toshiba netbooks (NB520 and NB550D) that were originally 1024x600 but I upgraded …

I was given a Dell Ultrasharp 2001FP a couple years ago and I have been using it on my retro test bench for a while now. I absolutely LOVE this monitor for this use. It is an actual 4:3 1600x1200 IPS (possibly PVA) LCD and has DVI, VGA, S-Video, Composite and a USB 2.0 hub built in. On top of that, …

Windows 7's WDDM 1.1 driver model added things back from the XP days, namely 2D GDI acceleration. Yeah, but… overall Windows 7's performance was similar to Vista's on the same hardware. It's the people's PCs that got more RAM in the meantime, making the upgrade from XP feasible. Very high RAM usage …

It seems that it can see 4 cores, and only 2 work because NT4 Workstation supports only 2. But it's interesting that the CPU is recognized as J2670 which doesn't even seem to exist? It's J1900 in reality. Filename mps.png File size 34.75 KiB Views 592 views

Yeah sounds about right that hyperthreading requires ACPI. But this is for HT only, and a real dual-core CPU would work, right?

If you're dual booting Windows 7 with (presumably 32-bit) Windows XP, then you don't really need a 32-bit version of Windows 7, because whatever has problems with 64-bit Windows 7 should run fine on XP. On the other hand, a 64-bit OS is the one that can utilize the full potential of your CPU, not …
