![]() ![]() The problem I was discussing is one that is becoming more urgent every day and was obviously neglected for 5 years. I came looking for a solution to a problem yesterday, so it is all current to me. I'm sorry that my observation and advise bothers you. Maybe I shouldn't have said that out loud - the way Bill Gates is now trying to insert himself into every aspect of our lives, that last one is a real possibility.Ĭlick to expand.I guess "necro" is a term that means something bad. I'm glad Microsoft doesn't make vending machines and buy all the food supplies in the world so that all food has to be bought through their machines, and then constantly change the money slots to only accept coins, bills and custom credit cards that nobody has, or possibly haven't even been manufactured yet. I'm glad that Microsoft is not the provider of my electricity because at random intervals the voltage in the outlets might be changed to 40 volts DC one year, and then 165 volts AC a few months later, and the outlet designs would be "upgraded" so that all my appliances would have to be modified or replaced based on the silly decisions of their design department, who don't actually use the things themselves, but are only there to make sure people need to constantly spend more money and relearn everything they already knew how to do so they are always dependent on Microsoft. Then when I can't play my music anymore their mindless zealots would blame me for my unwillingness to adapt to the future. I'm glad that Microsoft doesn't build pianos because the key positions would be interactively reassigned while I'm playing, based on which one I use most rather than the note I want, and the number of notes in a octave could be changed at any moment to be 6 or 10 or some other arbitrary number. Microsoft certainly has an obligation to make sure that all software written according to their API continues to work on all new versions of their OS, or to make sure the old OS is always supported. The people who write software that works on their OS give that Operating System all the value it has by giving people a reason to use it. It was Microsoft's decision to make Windows XP "obsolete" and nobody else's. But Microsoft has decided not to let me use Windows XP for Internet activities anymore, so I am forced to downgrade to the new broken version of their software if I want browser functionality. I still use Windows XP on all my computers that are not connected to the Internet with no issues and no difficulties, with lots of programs that are much older than Word Perfect, because when you have something perfect, there is no reason to "fix" anything. Yes, that is a Microsoft problem, and only an imbecile would really believe otherwise. I have been using Word Perfect 11 since 2003 and it still works great with Windows XP, but Windows 10 broke something that keeps my fully functional program from working anymore. It's better not to offer any comment at all than to make ignorant, useless replies like this to someone in need of solutions. I will revert to Windows 7 on my desktop, if I cannot get WP installed running 10. I have long felt that Word Perfect is far and away the best word processor. I do not guarantee my experience was the same as yours might be. I only found this thread while seeking a solution to my desktop problem. The only difference is that it was installed on the laptop at the time of upgrade to 10, but not on the desktop at the same time. For some reason WP will not complete the install on Windows 10. OK fine, that's why I have CD's right - not for WP it turns out. To complete this the techie claimed he had to reformat my C-drive wiping out all the programs stored there. However, I had to replace the motherboard on my desktop. After the upgrade, WP continues to work just fine. I used the free upgrade to Windows 10 offer on my laptop, where Wordperfect was installed and working just fine. Wordperfect 12 is included in this office suite. I had Wordperfect Office 2000 installed on 2 PC's: my laptop and my desktop, both running Windows 7.
