  • How to run and play old computer programs on Windows 10?

    So, apparently Windows 10 has a compabailty mode that allows you to play and run old computer programs.

    However, I am having issues with my computer game American Mcgee Alice which came out in 2,000.

    I know not the only person who is having problems with this version of American Mcgee Alice to work on Windows 10. Because apparently in the past people have had some problems with this game on newer versions of Windows.

    I can install and uninstall the game no problem. But, after that the game won't play. I mean the only time the startup menu even shows up is when I put the game disk in. If I click on the game icon from the desktop or computer files. I either get a message that says please log in with administration privileges or would like this program to make changes to your laptop? And when I click ok or yes. Nothing happens.

    I even tried the trouble shooting compabailty mode. I did the recommended setting and even tried trouble shooting option. I have tried trouble shooting it with both on Windows Vista and Windows XP option. I follow all the steps after that. I go to click on the desktop icon or put the game in. The game menu pops up. I go to click play and nothing happens. The start up menu disappears after a couple seconds.

    So, what am I doing wrong? Is it just this one game having issues or does the compabailty mode only work on certain games and programs? Do I need to download something else?

  • Foxfi no longer works on Galaxy S7. Need to find way to fix this or find alternative way to use hotspot?

    I have just recently brought a Samsung Galaxy S7. According to Foxfi website the app Foxfi hotspot should work on a Samsung Galaxy S7 phone. The app also says the app will work on a phone as long the phone is not over Android 7.0.

    My phone is a is a Android 7.0. Which then I did some research that Android 7.0 prevents apps like Foxfi from using a wireless hotpot unless you used tethering mode with PDANET+.

    So, my question is there a way to downgrade the phone to Android 6.0 without having to root it or install some kind of program? Or if I should buy a older modeled phone with Android 6.0? Or is there a app that is similar to Foxfi that can allow me to use my phone as a hotspot wireless?

    I need to be able to use my hotspot to be able to use it for my wireless devices that you can't tether too such as a game system like a Xbox one s. I also can't return my phone because I brought it off of eBay.

  • Does Straight Talk actually deactivate your phone if use it as a hot spot or tether and how do they know if you are doing it?

    I'm currently trying to find out if Straight Talk does or not deactivate your phone if you use your as a hotspot or tether?

    Also how do they find out if you are doing it or not?

    I'm asking because Straight Talk is about to offer a new unlimited data plan. I have been trying to find a answer to this question because no one seems to know.

    I mean a lot of people discouraged it. It is said in term and use of Straight Talk said they will do it. But, as anyone actually ever had there phone deactivated for doing it.

    I mean so far I have been using the app Fox Fire to do it and so far they have not deactivated my phone.

    I mean do they care or not? Because a lot of prepaid plans allow using their phone as a hotspot. Also they been constantly updating their data amounts almost nonstop. I'm guessing to able to compete with other companies.

    Also I have been told that if they do deactivate your phone they will make your phone usless and even take your number. So, you will not be able to get phone and current number to able to go to a new phone provider.According to someone online.

    I have also been told they don't care if you do it or not. They just say not to do it because it takes too much phone data.

    So what is the answer? Should I stay with Straight Talk or go do a new phone provider? Because I need to able to have internet.

  • Does Straight Talk really deactivate your phone when you tether or use phone as a hotspot?

    I have currently been a straight talk user for about 4 years now. It's the only phone provider I can afford right now. I know there other services with different phone providers ,but I live in a bad area where I don't get a lot of phone singles from other phone providers. Plus Straight Talk does offer more phone data compared to other prepaid servies.

    I currently live in a area where a lot of internet companies won't come down and install internet. I can't even bundle internet with my tv provider.

    It's super annoying that I have do a lot of stuff off my phone and I'm running out of space on my phone because I have to use apps to be able basic stuff online. When it would be easier to just do stuff off my laptop. Plus I don't want to go to the library to just to be able to do some stuff online.

    So, I been tethering every now and then by using the Foxfire app. Which usually like for 5 to 10 minutes. Because I have not brought the full app.

    I do worry about my phone being deactivated. Because Staright Talk says that there phone services don't allow tethering or using your phone as a hotspot. They also said they would deactivate your phone if you were doing it. Which I don't know if they are being serious or if they really don't care.

    I have heard that phone companies check your phone data and if they catch you doing abnormal amounts use of data they will shut off your phone. That's if your on a prepaid service plan that you can not use your phone as a hotspot.

  • What to do if someone is using your cell phone number for spoof calls?

    I have had two people text me claiming that I called them. When I have not called them at all. However, one person said did take a screen shot off his phone and it showed my number was on there phone call history.

    So, I did research of phone spoofing and I have learned that there can be serious consequences of someone spoofing your number.

    I have read about apps to protect yourself from phone spoofing and stuff like anti spyware.

    I used my security app to check on my phone it says that my phone is safe and it does have a feature of showing which phone calls are scams or harassment. I use the phone Security Master app.

    However, I'm a bit worried about someone using my phone number for scams and it even being used for identity theft.

    I don't know if my phone provider Straight Talk is any help for something like this.

    So, I'm wondering what I should do to protect myself or if making a big deal out of nothing? Because everything seems fine. I even checked my bank account and nothing us wrong with it.

  • How can I protect my phone number from spoof calls?

    This has happened to me twice. I have gotten a text from two people claiming that I have called them.

    However, both of these numbers I have never seen before and they are both local numbers. I have checked my phone history and it has no record of me calling them.

    But, one person took a screen shot his phone saying that my phone called. But my phone history has no record of me calling that person.

    So, how can I protect my phone number. So, I can stop getting werid phone calls were they just hang up on me. And also so I can stop getting text from people who saying that I called them when I have not called them.

  • Which job is this in Microsoft fixing computers based on light codes?

    Apparently there is a job at Microsoft that my grandfather told me about fixing computers based upon light codes. Or maybe trouble shooting based on light codes.

    However, sadly he never told me what the job was called. Because apparently he just knew a guy that worked at Microsoft.

    No matter how many times I ask him what the job is called. He says he never got the name of it. Or he has not spoken to the guy in awhile. It's been weeks and still got no answer from him.

    I'm starting to get frustrated because I have tried finding this job online and can't find it.

    I'm starting to think this job does not even exist. I'm trying to help my friend find a job. Because he can't find it either.

    So, does anyone know what this job is called?

  • What movie has a guy being killed by a pendulum with a lions head attached to it?

    I remember watching this movie a couple years back. The movie took place in a mansion and it was haunted. Apparently by a guy who killed his whole entire family.

    And one of the sayings I have this guy walking and he's pointing at something and then a pendulum appears out of nowhere with a lion's head attached to it and decapitates him.

    In another scene a woman is flipping through a bunch of pictures and the pictures are pointing to a fireplace and which I'm guessing had bones of the children that the guy killed.

    Another scene at it like they were running and on the ceiling you could see the footprints and the Mansion was starting to shake.

    Sorry that's all I remember from the movie. I have not seen this movie in a good while.

  • Is there a better prepaid plan than Straight Talk has good data?

    I have been a straight talk user for like 4 years. I have always known that Straight Talk has no hotspot or tethering options.

    I also know that there are ways of making your phone a hotspot by using apps such as FoxFi. I never done it done it before but I have friends who have done this before.

    I personally think it's lousy that I have to pay 45 or 55 bucks a months for 5GB and 10GB. But, I'm not allowed to tether or use my phone as a hotspot.

    I also don't want to buy there mobile hotspot for laptops. Which last time I checked it was 75 dollars for the device and 60 dollars for like 2GB or something.

    So, is there a better a prepaid plan that allows you to use your phone as a hotspot for cheap and a good data amount? I don't want to go any lower then 5GB in a data plan.

  • Can I still get Pikachu as a starter on Pokemon Go?

    I recently started playing Pokemon Go today because my new phone came in today. I had to get a new phone because my old phone was having a lot of issues with text messaging and over heating etc. And wondering if I can still get Pikachu as my starter.

    You see I was testing out the game today in my house because it was raining. But I noticed my avatar was not moving. So, I started clicking on the screen to see if the game was working. I clicked on one of the starters to make sure the game. The game turns out was working. However, I did not catch the starter by chosing the flee button. I even restarted my phone and cleared the data to just to see what would happen. Which I wound up mainly just being in front of them again.

    But, can I still get Pikachu as starter because of that? All of the articles I have read said nothing about encountering any of them would effect it or not. I know to catch Pikachu you have to walk away from the starter a couple of times and not catch them. Or, do I have to start over?

    I just want pikachu has a starter because yellow was my first pokemon game.

    I brought a S5 phone off of eBay. I was going to return it because of the phone having scratchs on it.

    So, now I have to return the phone in within 5 bussines days. But I changed my mind about returning it. Plus I can't ship it till this weekend because I can't get to the post office.

    However, I'm worried that the phone may not work with straight talk. The seller claims the phone will work for straight talk.

  • Can Pokemon Go be played on a S5?

    I done my research and the most reasonable phone in my price range is a S5. Plus it sounds like a good phone to upgrade from a S3.

    However I'm nervous about getting a S5 because I am scared it might not work with pokemon go.

    I know a S5 has a gyroscope, 2GB RAM, and a 4.4 or higher. I am amusing it has a non Intel processors.

    Its the only one I know that I can buy that can play it. I plan to buy a unlocked factory refurbished S5 from EBay.

    So can a S5 really play Pokemon Go and how good does it run it? Also I'm a factory refurbished has all of the original parts to it?

    I'm just nervous because I don't want to waste a lot of money on a phone that may not play Pokemon Go.

  • What's are the differences between different Locked phones?

    I'm currently looking for a unlocked phone S5, S6, or S7 for a good price.

    However what's better a unlocked phone or factory unlocked phone? Which one is better? I'm a straight talk user and sadly they don't have any current phones with 4.4 or higher with a gyroscope, non intel processors, and with 2GB Ram. Yes I'm looking for a phone for Pokemon Go.

    Also if I buy a unlocked phone will it update itself. Because I know straight talk phones and Wal-Mart phones don't update there phones.

    Also what are some good sites to buy a unlocked S5, S6, or S7 for cheap in good condition.

    I know I should buy a S5 Because its the cheapest one out of the 3. But places like Amazon and Ebay have them for like 300 for a unlocked S5. Anyone know any sites that are safe and can get them in good condition for cheap?

    I have already tried places like Best buy and Wal-Mart but they are still like 300. I want a S5 for like 200 or lower. I know the S6 and S7 are still high price. But wishful thinking for a decent price for a unlocked S6 or S7 in good condition.

    Pokemon Go has just been released. However sadly my S3 can't play it Because it a 4.1.2. And Pokemon Go is needed a 4.4 or iOS 8 or higher I have spoken to a straight talk provide about getting a new phone for a good price without down grading from the S3.

    They suggested a iphone 5 or Samsung prime or Samsung grand prime or Samsung core prime.

    However sadly I don't know which phone to pick. Brand new they cost about 150. However straight talk core prime is 30 and Samsung grand prime are 80 if brought used. They say the Samsung phones are equally good to the S3.

    So which one is which the best? Which one is the better up grade from S3? Because I never had a IPhone and I don't know much about the other Samsung phones.

  • Straight talk phone that run 4.4 or higher?

    Pokemon go has just been released , but sadly my Galaxy 3 phone can't play it. I am a straight talk user. However both straight talk and Wal-Mart phones don't get updated. So, my phone will always be at 4.1.2. I also want a more up to date phone.

    So, I am thinking of getting a new phone. However, I don't want to buy a really expensive phone or down grade from the S3. I know phones like the optimus fuel phone run off on 4.4. But I don't want to go back to that. I would also need a good GPS.

    I want to buy a phone from the price range of 100 to 150. 200 Is my max. Also were can I buy the phone at? I wanna make sure it works for stright talk. Because I can only afford straight talk.

    Also can pokemon go work off of phone data or is it just a Wi-Fi? Also can pokemon go play on a unlocked phone?
