The Walmart near me took precautions. They payed the police department to send a couple of officers to patrol the store.

And now it has come to us, and let me assure you things will probably get even messier here (does messier exist? or is it more messy?)

 

[TheNoob]

That was fun

 

[Spirictum]

Mountain glitch? I remember this happened in Civ III but I don't remember if it happens in CIV

Nice Noob and it's messier Spirictum, you are right Also, Noob, can you look for Program Files? In fact, screenshot what you see when you open the C: drive and post it here.

 

[Spirictum]

Thanks caterpillar

We have Mark Messier In all seriousness, though, yes, messier is the correct word.

I'll get to you CK after the marching band and I are done marching in the parade

 

[TheNoob]

Below the bottom is Windows NT, Windows Photo Viewer, Windows Portable Devices, and winRAR

 

[CaterpillarKing]

What if you open up ASUS?

 

[TheNoob]

You'll find the .dll files and modes. Essential computer stuff and nothing else.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Common Files?

 

[TheNoob]

No Firaxis in there

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Do this, open up the C: file, and in the top right search bar type Firaxis

 

[Spirictum]

How can you do not have a Program Files folder? Could you check if you can find it on the search box? (wherever it is on a windows 8)

 

[CaterpillarKing]

That's what I was thinking.

 

[Spirictum]

There must be a search box somewhere in his windows, if he can find it, then he just needs to search for the Beyond the Sword, and it'll show where it's located.

 

[CaterpillarKing]

Yeah that's what I told him, except with the Firaxis file.

Bill Gates sucks you know. Actually windows sucks a lot, it's terrible, it's confusing, it's misleading and after every upgrade since XP it only gets worse instead of better.

XP added functionality while it lost simplicity, it was the last update you could say it was ok.

Vista messed thing really badly.

Seven tried to fix Vista problems but kept being a lot worse then XP.

Eight is a mobile phone called a computer. It's completely insane. I avoided mobile technology to the best of my ability, only to see Windows turned into a big mobile phone interfaced OS.

I can't say much about functionality, but about mess I can say a lot because I feel almost as lost as when I sit in front of a MAC.


Although I don't know how to use MACs, I have to agree that they are far superior compared to windows. It's a shame windows got so OP on the OS market.

Once I was trying to help a friend on a MAC and then I stumbled upon something so simple that I couldn't even know how to deal with it: How to uninstall a program from a MAC?

I searched tirelessly for a solution but nothing pointed me to a uninstall method.

Then I went to God Google and he answered me this:

To uninstall a program from a MAC, follow these steps:

1st - Find the folder of the program you're looking for;
2nd - Move that folder to the Recycle Bin;
3rd - Well done, you've finished uninstalling the program.


I simply couldn't believe it. How could windows mess things up so badly and still be in the lead of the market?

These files are all in my Program Files folder; I thought it would be easier than having to post a pic and being told to open it.

I also searched for "Firaxis" in the whole C: drive. Nothing was found.
