I'm still searching for an A2 having Thai characters on all its buttons, but such a thing probably does not exist?

Solution here is to invest money in one of todays most excellent malware removers. Start running it. In case too many Chrome related malware has been detected and removed in comparison to other similar software packages regardless the actual settings of Chrome then the right thing to do is simply dump Chrome.

Appreciate that but please understand if you operate like that the computers are wide open to attacks.

I'm not sure that this is the case. Both programmes use specific login servers to facilitate connections and as far as I know there are no directly accessible ports or services.

Anyway, remote control software that requires a user to be present 24/7 is rather pointless as far as I'm concerned.

I agree.

In the 'old days' with PCAnywhere you had to install the host on all the servers and change their ports so you could access all your servers using different ports and YES all servers where all exposed to the internet.

With Teamviewer and Remote Utilities the servers / PC are exposed to the login servers of Teamviewer and Remote Utilities, so let's call it 'indirect' not 'direct'!

Hopefully this helps: out of the viewpoint of industrial security somehow specialized knowledge of experts needs to be incorporated and this is perfectly done today by hiring a specialized reliable third party who's adding its own servers.

I can possibly get an aircard through either True or AIS.

At present, from a practical viewpoint, it seems that 3G TrueMove H ( thus not 3G AIS 12Call ) via a SIM card in a Samsung mobile phone ( using WiFi via Tethering ) is seen in my remote village as being relative faster and more cheap, thus more popular amongst laptop users ( for example kids and students ) than any other currently local available applied method of establishing internet. Guess I'm not the only one who is having pretty mixed feelings here about keep on waiting for an available empty slot. We are waiting for quite some time now. Thus once you are getting connected to a slot you may not entirely get what you were hoping for. Potentially, in practice, due to the relative more complicated and physically much larger layout with all those additional cables and boxes, you will certainly get and experience many more disturbing factors, asking for specialized control, which, without proper control, may slow down local speed on the internet drastically.

Hi,

I find store geekbuying has a good deal offering Minix neo x7 with $138, and when you buy it now you can get a free Gamepad G910 value $26. Cheers

Where to find it：http://promotion.geekbuying.com/promotion/minix_neo_x7_sale

An additional note:

Gamepad G910 works well with the at present latest official release of Minix Neo X7:

http://www.minixforum.com/threads/x7-kitkat-240-june-4th-2015.6185/

No need anymore to install additional android utilities, such as BitGamesClientTV_ENG_v1.2.2.apk ( having OpenpadUnion included ) or relative older android utilities like for example opd.bitgames_1220.apk and opd.touch_1220.apk ( Chinese utility OpenPad ).

Simply open Settings, submenu BlueTooth, click button combination X + Home of gamepad G910 and the pairing of the gamepad will succeed.

Btw. after having installed that latest official release AND the android utilities mentioned here above pairing did not succeed anymore on my system... so establishing the connection to the G910 has possibly been simplified ( an improvement ) ...

Note:

today free available ( no costs ) Kodi Ultimate Add-on Packages ( KUAP ) Installers for WIndows do exist for some time now ( for example KUAP v2.7.3.exe, size 813 MB ) which do work quite well ( Windows 10 included ). Additional software components will be automatically installed in here C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Kodi. As long as your Windows system has been setup and configured properly you experience no problems setting up Kodi add-ons via this method.

After many months of playing Android games, our Minix Neo x7 suddenly refused to startup anymore. One of main advantages of having a Minix Neo X7 is that eventually a user is always capable of letting this device work again. Only the green Android robot was repeatedly shown during startup, but no Minix flashscreen, no menu. In order to try to gain access again to the Minix Neo X7 a factory reset was done ( via a small hole in a corner on the back ) and all user data was removed. But its behaviour did not change at all: not granted access. Only option left was to wipe out the enitire Android software system by performing a full system upgrade to the at present latest official available version supported by Minix ( Official Release X7 Kitkat 240 ( june 4th 2015 ) ). Additional root and unroot updates via the SD card are also officially supported. In my case it was not possible to do full system upgrade via a .ZIP file on the SD card ( yielded an installation error ) and also not via OTA because the Andriod system itself had already decided not to startup anymore. So an additional USB cable ( for example of a Nokia phone ) was needed in order to connect the Minix Neo X7 to a laptop. Then I discovered quite quickly that none of the presently available drivers who have to transfer the downloaded Minix Neo X7 image ( x7-rk3188-240.img ) into the Minix Neo X7 hardware are suitable for successful usage on a Windows 10 operating system. Had to return to a luckily still available Windows 7 operating system still left and running on one of the harddisks. The Minix Neo X7 upgrade itself went quite smoothly. Newest image of Minix for the Minix Neo X7 contains a list of upgraded apps, including XBMC 13.3.3 for Minix. So what you get is current version 2.4.0 of Minix, Android version 4.4.2 and XBMX 13.3-MINIX(3) and a selected group of upgraded apps.

Count to that the fact that some of todays most excellent anti-virus scanners are quite capable of offering much too quickly the suggestion to remove an incomplete update or remnants of an update while the update itself is still actually being busy.... when you allow a virus scanner to do just that then the machine will be very busy accomplishing nothing ... ( "Security update for ... ( KB ... ) ... is not totally removed Delete files ?" ) ... while the Windows Updates is simply waiting for a restart to install files ...

Maybe this relative old piece of software is what you're looking for:

No need to use this utility inside Windows 10:

Personalization > Themes > Desktop Icon Settings > uncheck Allow themes to change desktop icons ...

Thanks to some clever nerds it is now possible to do a clean install of Windows 10 completely bypassing the need to go through the upgrade process. Apart from saving a lot of time it should be helpful to those that have problems with the "get windows 10" thing, a dodgy internet connection or have issues during the upgrade process.

There have been all kind of media stories about Microsoft delving into your Win7/8/8.1 installation during the upgrade but this demonstrates that qualifying for the free upgrade is a remarkably simple process and doesn't even require an internet connection until the end when you activate your new Win 10.

You still need to have an activated installation of Win7/8/8.1 before you start so this has nothing to do with piracy. But there is no need to install any updates. You don't even need to install drivers. The only prerequisite is that the installation you are using to qualify is activated.

You can create USB install media using a version appropriate to your system here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Then follow these steps precisely;

1 - From your Win10 install media locate the file gatherosstate.exe in the /Sources folder and copy it to C:\ of your Win7/8/8.1 system

2 - From an admin command prompt run gatherosstate.exe. That will immediately create a file called GenuineTicket.xml. Save this file to e.g. a USB drive.

3 - Do a clean install of Win10. Skip product key and skip connecting to WiFI. This is important. Do NOT go online throughout the install.

4 - After install reboot. Copy GenuineTicket.xml to C:\programdata\microsoft\windows\clipsvc\genuineticket\. Reboot again.

5 - Go online and Win10 should now activate.

You're done and your machines unique HWID is now stored on the MS activation servers.

In the last few days several forums have listed variations on the above process. Some didn't work for me and some extra steps proved unnecessary but I have now installed from 2 Win7 machines and 1 Win8.1 and the above process is precisely what did work for me. I haven't tried it with Win8 but don't suppose that is any different.

I need to issue an update to my post yesterday.

Firstly, if going from Win 7 to Win 10 the above definitely works. I have no doubt about that.

However with Win 8.1 I'm now not so sure. After posting yesterday I set about doing the same thing (upgrade bypass) with a notebook that came with OEM Win8.1. I was confident because as mentioned, I had previously done the same thing with another almost identical machine. This time however, I couldn't get the damn thing to activate no matter what I tried.

In trying to figure out why it worked the first time and not the second I recalled that I had previously had Win10 insider preview installed on the first machine so that may be the reason that it was accepted by the MS activation servers.

I'm not too sure about this though so will post again if/when I learn more. Hopefully I haven't wasted anyone's time already.

Thanks for the checklist.

Had to perform a clean install after the update got totally out of control due to a probably inherited quite serious but simple three years old Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit unsolved configuration problem. Had to learn what went wrong three years ago ... lol ...

However after the Clean Install I did run into still quite a lot of other configuration problems and issues. But it seems to work now and much more as it was intended to work today.

Returning to the original question of the OP:

- firstly be sure no remnants are left out of the past from previous antivirus programs ( including those of previous Kaspersky versions ),

- secondly sometimes it is important first to get rid of installed malware before other things are capable to start working again as intended.

Many years ago I actually setup a multi-boot system ( Windows and Red Hat ) and it worked wonderfully well for many years. No bad experiences at all. Very first post of this thread still triggers the keyword "Grub" into my mind. Keyword Grub in combination with Red Hat yields following link for more reliable information and proper guidance ( this documentation contains a few important hints ):

On the internet are also other tutorials available.

Good luck.

VS2005 works fine under Windows 10 [ ... snipped ... ]

Correction:

VS2005 compilation works on Windows 10, but as soon as C++ sourcecode is loaded in the VS2005 debugger then the Windows 10 operating system stops, becomes totally inoperable, forcing me to push the power button in order to regain control of the laptop. Personally it's definitely not a fully workable combination.

Many rain seasons ago we were forced in our relative small village in the North East to switch over from a defect in-house water filtering system to a relative more cheap delivery system of large bottles and crates of smaller bottles of water run by humans. No idea whether or not such a system is available in your city.

[... snipped...]

Wonder what happens to an already installed Windows 7 based VS2005 environment AFTER a Windows 10 upgrade ( not doing a clean install ). Will specifically that relative old already completely installed and upgraded VS2005 environment running under Windows 7 still keep on working under Windows 10 if it has already been successfully installed and configured properly in Windows 7? Have some software developers actually performed this test already?

Actually did the test after first having created an Acronis full backup of the partition involved.

VS2005 works fine under Windows 10, just as it did under Windows 7, and, also under Windows 8, despite the comments offered by Microsoft, just before the actual start of the Windows 10 update.

However, I do experience already expected security issues when for example saving a text file into the root of the C:\ disk on which Windows 10 has been installed ( as an upgrade ). Then said program needs to run with elevation, or, corresponding access control list is to be adjusted, or, program, when the implementation or a redesign allows it, should save a text file at a different more convenient place elsewhere which is much more easy to get into these days due to the latest new much more strict security policies as applied by Microsoft.

Had no issues yet, thus far, but still do have many questions and things to try out.

Possible assumption of Microsoft: all programs are supposed to keep on running under a Windows 10 [ Pro or whatever version available right now ] operating system, thus programs already running well under previous Windows versions should at least keep on running on n everlasting Windows 10 version, certainly not stop performing their planned tasks, except maybe some programs of Microsoft ;-), such as for example Visual Studio 2005 ( VS2005).

An Audials seller ( internet radio program for personal usage in the northeast of Thailand ) adviced me to upgrade to their latest available version of Audials for approximately an additional cost of 20 euro, because their newest version was said to be able to install and be used successfully in combination with the upcoming Windows 10. In practice, the old version, Audials 10, also still keeps on running quite well after the Windows 10 update. So, I did not do a clean install yet, and did not reinstall any of my relative old programs. I just try to keep on using them. In my case the experience of sound improved quite a lot compared to Windows 7. That sounds good, no? The Audials comment was presumably nothing more than a statement made by the marketing department of Audials. Will not blame them for trying to make some money out of it.

After having installed all these interesting android apps mentioned in this thread on a device having relative low internal memory both android app Link2SD for linking android apps to an external SD card and Windows application Mini Partition Wizard Manager for partitioning the external SD card do come to mind again. This is one of the methods which proved to work perfectly well for my Samsung Galaxy Fame. Others did not. How to do tutorial can be found on the xda-developers site.

IMO LINE is an excellent alternative and quite popular too.

The only MAJOR issue with XBMC is your internet connection but that is the limiter on every internet based streaming system.

Minix XBMC on the X7 is above all an excellent video player capable of playing DVD and ISO movies from connected external harddisks, such as for example the USB 3.0 powered Toshiba 2T external harddisks. In such a case an internet connection is not needed.

Had the minix X7 for a while now & high key recommend it, one tip is to buy a better remote control, I bought the A2 & am pleased with it (except it chews through batteries) though there's quite a few negative reviews.

Low batteries of the A2 fly- or airmouse do slow down the X7 user interface.

Not if you need to be cured of having a red nose 5555

Enjoy!

Question: What do you recommend for live sports? For example how did you watch the F1 in HD? I have tried likes of Sports Devil and MashUp but quality of sports video isn't as good as your news links?

Over 66 free (no need to subscribe to ntv) sports channels under P2P-streams in the xbmchub add-on installer sky, bt, eurosport, etc ..

How do you get from p2p-streams which I have to sky, bt, eurosport, etc .. ?

If I choose p2p-streams I have options

-Addon website parsers

-Addon xml lists

-Addon favorites

Acestream

Sopcast

Addvanced tools?

All I can find for sky, bt, eurosport, etc .. is to choose the first options (-Addon website parsers) then search through some of the options? Is this correct to get to sky, bt, eurosport, etc .. ? My results have been less than impressive with much buffering or not link established at all vs your excellent news links which work very fast.

E.g. select Addon website parsers > Arenavision.in > Agenda/Schedule. Compare time and dates listed to current time and date and notice the specified AV<number>. Then go back one page, and simply select the AV<number> of your choice. Stream of the event scheduled should be present and accessible. Sometimes it's sky, bt, eurosport, canal+, etc...
