Orville Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 That's a major bummer. Hope you get {or got} a new computer for Christmas to replace the one that picked the worst of times to go up in smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibblejr Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 My computer died a few days before Dec 1 and its a long road to recovery. Even though I was able to get everything back with recovery software its not perfect and added hours to create a sequence. I am still recovering and after New Years will take 30 days to get my files back in order. Condolences JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Laff Posted December 25, 2018 Author Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) When I buy a new computer will lor work on Windows 10 Edited December 25, 2018 by Dennis Laff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 No problem. Been using W10 since it came out in 2015. If you are used to W7, you can make 10 look just about identical. Much better than W8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~DOC~ Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 W10 has been a learning curve for me. Completely different than work and my home PC’s How do you make it look like 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilMassey Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Just work through all the settings for display, taskbar, explorer options, touch if you don't use it. Quick launch can be put back, and so on. Lots of little things, depending on what you're used to and prefer. Google can help with a lot of it. I can help with specifics but need to have the box in front of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all Of the rain forecasted I now wish I started taking up the controllers two days ago while it was 70 outside. We lack only a few more inches of rain before January to be the rainiest year since they started taking statistics. All since Halloween. All RGB work and faces but the mega and mini trees down due to flooding JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibblejr Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 Took all controllers up today the only dry day for 7 more days. So for me the Christmas/ New Year Show is over. Front yard flooded so all props and lights remain but all cables and controllers packed away. And my matrix on wheels. Hopefully everyone’s weather is and has been better than ours.
