and this is why i think abandonedware should become public domain and if possible open source.
@Archer957
This is why we still run win 7 with a virtual win xp at my work lol the dos program we use only works on xp and they couldnt get it to work on anything newer than running virtual on 7
@TetraSky
Yep, we have older computers like that at my job. Only reason they are still used is due to a specific piece of software that interacts with a machine... And then, our bosses had the smart idea to get rid of all the spare computers we had kept for parts. Last time a computer failed, it was nice trying to explain to a moron in a suit why we couldn't just replace it to restart production. Especially not because they are stupid dell computers with proprietary connectors for everything. Can't just swap the PSU
@reinstalledcomputer
I had the same problem on one of my XP Computers. I found one at a dumpster but it had a faulty power supply, but everything else works fine.
@shaylinmonk9208
I knew it was the power supply issue as soon as he said powers up for a second he didn’t need Meter to determine that pretty simple diagnostic
@TheWindowsExpert5004
Kohl’s, Walmart, target, and museums all use old software like this. Even windows xp!
@TheGlitchyMario
The caps on that board are probably failing too
@shaunclarke94
If you did the test with the peripherals still connected then that doesn't mean the power supply was necessarily faulty, as a device could be dragging it down. Although clearly it was.
@Ckcdillpickle
Most massive corporations run off software from the 80's, Walmart is one of them
@PTFuZi
Just virtualize it
@mento8674
I was wondering what if my pc's rgb stops working?
@SxiiJXii
This is like Lowe’s they literally use DOS, some terrible system called genesis. They literally don’t use anything new because they are too cheap.
@kazekoe
Cant you like clone the drive or just connect the drive to a newer system?
@ProjectgamesV2
hey i think i have that same modem but is it from D-link?
@Dukenukem
Sorry, but 20+4 is standart, never saw a solid 24 pin connector on any PSU
@patrickhogan9256
Did uou solve the pc's spaghetti
@TruckFan542
They should seriously consider phasing out that machinery and upgrading, this is a security mess waiting to happen. Also probably very likely to break.
@Nicolelovesoldtech
Its not, listen here in serbia windows 7 is very commonly used and 2009 pcs too. They just work. Yes windows 10 is common too but your average school have old ass fujitsu siemens pcs with a shitty pentium running windows 7. Hell, even medical offices run that. Ive even seen windows xp in some companies. And also they have better compability especially xp.
@robw5741
This is giving Cool story brr ...I doubt there is any piece of anything reliant on this system
