    Bad2049 got a reaction from Bittenfleax in Windows 8.1 EXTREAMLY slow start up after Windows Update!   
    I had an issue today where the explorer.exe wouldn't start and all I would have is a black screen with functioning mouse. I checked around online, thanks to Task Manager I was able to launch apps, and found that the KB3035131 was the cause of my issue. Using TM again I was able to open Control Panel and access the Programs and Features window and uninstalled that update. Windows is working just fine without it... after reboot of course. Could see if that might be the issue.

    Now I know this is Videocardz but they have gotten some things right recently. I also have a teaser from OCN's Sapphire rep about this last month so I kind of expect it might be true (the 8gb VRAM part, that is). I also believed the Toxic would be released rather than the Vapor-X based on his tease to be honest so don't take this as granted just yet.

    Bad2049 got a reaction from Ruostunut kokis in Any free rooting software?   
    Google used to allow rooting apps on the store, but that has changed and no app available can be able to root any phone. So the CyanogenMod app won't do this any longer if it once did.

    Are you grabbing your drivers from the AMD site or the Sapphire site?

    During the installation do you get a yellow pop-up asking if you want to install a driver?
     
    Edit: By any chance could you link me to the actual R7 260X model you have? I noticed on the Sapphire site that there were 2, but neither of the shrouds look like yours.

    By any chance did you ever use the AMD Uninstaller software they releasded quite some time ago? I only ask because I used to use it flawlessly, but when I used it under Win 8.1 it literally removed the registry entry for my Administrative Rights. I have a fix for that now though. Check to see if you can open UAC settings. If you can't then that's what may be the issue.

    Short = No
     
    Long = No since the architecture is not of the GCN variety. You would need at least any of the HD 7xxx series cards to run with Mantle.

    Let me take a quick guess, but you are using the latest 14.1 beta drivers, right?
     
    If so, then follow the directions here at the following Guru3d Thread: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=386289

    Place a copy of the two .dll files in each of the two folders above if you're on Windows 64bit. If you're on Windows 32bit, then you just need to place them in the C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin directory.

    Bad2049 reacted to Jeroen1322 in My problem with this generation (Would be awesome if you read it! :) )   
    Hi guys this is kind of a rant so be warned (I put this in General Discussion because it involves tech.. kinda.. and Off-Topic is for non-tech content, but feel free to move it mods!) 
     
    Soo where should i start.. 
     
    I mentioned that i'm going to buy a 3DS XL to my family and my little sister said "No wonder you don't have a girlfriend" so that started making me think.. Why is it that when you play PC / xBox / PlayStation that you just "Fit in" and when you play on something else you are weird.. People don't know that Nintendo is for not only 8 year old kids. The games people of my age play is CoD and then only the multiplayer because they don't care about the story. Some hand held games for Nintendo are really great, for example Pokémon where you can just lose yourself. 
     
    Everybody has to have a phone and if you don't have Samsung or Apple you are weird and don't know any good phones.. I don't have one because if i get an subscription it is waaaayy to expensive and Pre-Paid is also pretty expensive.. A mobile phone / SmartPhone is realllyyy expensive and in a year the next one comes out and everybody gets it from their parents.. And i don't need one because if there is something i can just ask somebody if i can call with their phone!
     
    Also when you mention Anime people are going to look weird at you because they think it is about cartoon pron and that kind of stuff but i have almost cried when i watched Sword Art Online because i got attached to the karacters. While the Japanese culture is fasinating and really cool and for example Nyan Koi! is freaking hilarius and you don't get that with television here.
     
    When you mention you can program and are good with computers people think "OMG that is such a nerd! He has no life / friends" while i'm a pretty normal guy. My family says that i'm not social and that they want me to go to a party while i have a couple of friends that i met trough gaming and they are one of the best people i have ever met! It is so much fun to play games with them or just talk. Almost all of the people i know smoke / drink and i don't because i know that it is really bad for you but people just do it to "Fit in".. And when i am in my room behind my computer everybody else is in the living room watching television or on there phone with earbuds in and nobody talks en they call me anti-social
     
    People are like freaking sheeps, but luckaly in every sheep group there is a "black sheep" who can think for them selfs and do what they love..
     
    This is probably also in other genarations but i don't know  
     
    Thank you for reading my rant and hopefully it makes sense because i just typed it without checking it.

    That means someone tried moving the console while On and running the game. If not moving then they tried changing from the sitting to the upright position. Is it a newer Slim model or the classic older one?
