i remember their shoes being semi-popular once upon a time, but didnt think theyd be as everywhere as they are now (in advertising).

they probably have a film crew and gear and it funds itself through advertising/youtube/social media/promoting tourism etc.

And what if you replace the hardware of your computer? What do you do then?

not sure, I'm assuming you'll either need to install 8.1 with the key you have first and go through it all again if it still works or call them and tell them you changed hardware

nah it's more like windows 7 than 8 IMO, enterprise editions can't upgrade either - you can download the upgrade from Microsoft website if you don't have the notification, that's what I did.

Looks more like older windows to me, keeping some 8 elements

Also hate 8

Make a desktop look like a tablet screen; a device that compromises view because of the lack of a mouse - real clever

Honestly windows peaked at 95

XP was a slight improvement

Everything after was an exercise in demonstrating their ability to suck cock and produce a shitty operating system

Will I be able to upgrade from the windows 8 you legally installed on my shoebox?

Windows 98 SE (second Edition)

that was the most stable and easy to use one of the lot.

if i recall correctly, no because it was old works enterprise key and enterprise editions cant upgrade but worth checking out when you get home

With what key, quote the Win7/Win8 key?

Seems a bit odd. Prob could find out if I google for three seconds.

Re: Windows

Windows 10 is to Windows 8, what Windows 7 was to Windows Vista.

I.e exactly the same, but people mysteriously like it for no reason.

That could be a coincidence or it could be that each one is a refined version of the previous one based on market feedback

Also, would I be right in guessing you ran Vista at some stage? It sounds like a Greg thing to do; run an operating system that crashes for no reason

+1 for reference

But in all seriousness, did run WinME, Windows Vista and never had any issues with any of them, they've all been solid for me, as was Win8/8.1

I suspect it's not so much the product, but the time it takes for it to be gradually accepted, as any IT person will tell you, people hate change, even if it's actually a positive change.

He probably dropped his computer off at a computer store to get Vista installed and it just sat there for 3 years until the shop closed down, then spent another 2 years at a different shop before he even got to crash it for himself

One of the older managers at work has One (Metallica) as his ringtone - thought this was cool and inter-generational until I realised I'm just f**king old myself

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
