    All ready tried that. Doesnt work with the 8 Professional final release, only with the beta or RTM version. Would be nice if it did.

    One thing I do miss is the "Start" menu which is gone in 8. But there is several solutions. After researching them, Im going to install "ClassicShell" (freeware from great source), which adds the "Start" button and menus back in to 8. Plus you can bypass "Metro" all together. Now to try and tackle my "Audio Visualizers" that fail to work. Still trying options with no luck. Going to email the manufacturers and see if a fix will be issued. But all in all, it loads very quick, is stable, and runs all but the mentioned apps I use on my media pc.

    Installation went smooth. The whole "Metro" startup page is gimicky, but the old desktop is just a click away. All my software works fine except for some audio visualizers. And thats a big deal for me. I love my audio visualizers. Tried running in different modes but they dont want to work. Will do some searching on the manufacturers web site. But all in all not a bad experience. Will play with the user interface more tomorrow.

    Me too I still have all the original disk for EVERY operating system since Dos 6.0. Even have Win95 or Win98 on floppy. I am bad about saving disks too. Still have Apple II and PC software on 5 1/4 floppy disks.

    Well the sad thing is in a few months all new pc's will be running 8. Windows 7 is pretty damn stable and 8 is built on 7's core. Its the damn desktop or "Metro" as they call it, thats pissin people off. But for those running XP or Vista the cheap upgrade MS is offering to those users might be a good deal. Especially once new programs and hardware stops supporting XP. So at some point many will go to 8. I remember moving from DOS 6.2 to Windows and hated it.

    Just received the final release from Microsoft. Gonna install it on my media pc and give it a try. I dont think Im gonna like "Metro" (main desktop). Will keep everyone informed. Official release date is later this month, but Im a registered OEM with them, so I get stuff before it hits the store. Hate to see anyone waiste there money on it. So if its shit, I'll let you know.

    Les Paul and Mary Ford, later tonight I will put on some Sabbath and play some COD. I listen to about anything, except, new country and rap. The country music has to be pre 1978. Stuff like Charlie Pride and Marty Robbins

    I tried to help Wero the other night by phone. Thought the map file in question was hidden in the "Compatibility Files" subgroup. He told me that he went to Area 51 and thats when shit started on his pc. Sad
  13. MikeB
    Hopefully he reads this page and gets it going.
  14. MikeB
    His "compatibility view" button wasnt there. I looked to see if it was a view option and didnt see it. Weird.
  15. MikeB
    Sorry I couldnt help you with your pc problem. Windows 7 on store pought pc's have certain features disabled and I still cant figure out how to enable "compatability files" view. Plus my state of mind didnt help much. I tend to ramble on and on Hope you get it going.

    That would make a great statement on a Tombstone. Hmm ... is there laws governing what can be engraved on a head stone ???? Google here I come !!!!!

    Notice the playing cards under the turntable legs. They work great for leveling. Look like crap, but they do the job. The Stanton Turntable at the bottom I use for 78 rpm records. The others are a Technics (cant remember the model) and a Pioneer PL518.
  19. MikeB
    Here are the rest. And my record collection

    Here we go. Got a pic of the new R2R (reel to reel) and some old pics of my man cave. I did add an 8 track and another turntable and one of the pics shows all 3 turntable and the 8 track. I moved the one R2R onto one of the speakers. I need to build a proper intertainment center. And one pic shows some new vinyl that was giving to me. Im in the process of cleaning it. There was some good lp's in that bunch. I had to break the post up into two because of the number of pics.

    Just finished cleaning up the Otari deck. Will post pics soon
  22. MikeB

  23. MikeB
    Im bad but not that bad
  24. MikeB
    I really dont sell anything. I guess I should at some point. As far a tubes, dont have any. I will get pictures up tomorrow when I get back from picking up the Otari reel to reel.
  25. MikeB
    I have 5 reel to reels. Going tomorrow to pick up another. I have alot of 70's gear (receivers, amps, 8 track, cassette, tt's). I pick it up at estate sales, garage sales, etc.. Sort of a hobby. I clean them up, get them working and put them away (except for my main system).
