Isn't there any way I can get it to work or is it just a goner for me?
Try downloading ReactOS and VirtualBox Then install ReactOS in a VM then install guest additions and then use the shared folder option to connect the folder in which criksim is there to the VM then it should work>
 
Well, a bit noobish questions but how long can Windows XP Sp2 run without getting corrupt?
 
Depends what you do. If you install windows on a machine, and don't mess around with it, dont install any programs, keep it shielded from the net, I don't see a reason why it would crash.

On the other hand, if i'm in the mood, I can crash it within minutes of a fresh install :D
 
so my new DELL lappy doesn't run games full screen. Windows 7 OS , ATI 1 GB Gfx
when I run any game there is a black border on both sides of screen and games resolution is limited to 1024x768
 
Right click on Desktop and there should be a Catalyst Control Center in the menu.. Click that.
Go to the advance mode, and select desktops and displays
Under Please select display, right click on the laptop and click configure
Now, look under the scaling options: It should show 2 things - Full Screen, and centered.
Click full screen and select ok, and close all the windows and try.

Also, when In-game, if you change the resolution to the laptop's resolution, it will become full screen.
 
Thanks for the solution. But my scaling options are grayed out.
Anyways I figured out how to deal with that.

change your screen resolution using windows to 1024x768. You will notice that is a black border on your side of the screen.

Next is to open the CCC, right click on your desktop and choose "Catalyst Control Center", better use the basic view.
open the quick setting tab > click on notebook display panel > resize the desktop to fit panel > klik GO! Then choose the middle option, that says to "fit the panel dispaly" then apply then OK!
Last is to change your resolution back to the recommended 1200x800 or 1366x800 ( depnds on your monitor).
 
Can someone help me with random firefox crashes. I am facing it from a long time. Tried using it with no addon but no luck so far. It's annoying me now. It's not with any particular site, it just crashes randomly giving 'Firefox has crashed' error message.

Do you run many tabs at once?
Or do you have a low ram?
 
For some reason I can't see/play embedded videos in websites. There's just a big white space there. I can watch videos in youtube, etc. but I can't if they're embedded in a page. When I open the page in my MacBook Pro I can see them there though so I know its not just the page. Anyone got any ideas?

It's not my browser either, as I've tried in a few different ones.
