    Always pop back and let us know the outcome – thanks

    If it looks like this, (irregardless of color) it’s a floppy:

    If that’s the case, then you’ll need a floppy drive (likely an external USB one, see below) and the software mentioned in the aforementioned post to be able to read the types of files on the disks:

    A word of caution—assuming they are floppies (never used SFW before), they quite likely would be unreadable if they’ve not been stored in nearly-ideal conditions. Floppy-media is subject to deterioration over time and unless stored in a dark, cool, dry environment, will degrade even more quickly.

  6. I had a similar issue and it turned out I just had no enough storage on a device for a VPN to work well.Well, maybe that wasn't a true reason, but after having created some space, everything was Ok

    I believe the laptop must have been purchased used. I have that model and it came with Windows XP Professional back in 2007 it was Vista Business with XP Downgrade. The previous owner must of had linux and the other Windows 7 and 8 maybe a triple boot. Maybe the drive needs to be wiped like with a program that writes 0’s and then Windows 7 re installed. Windows 7 32 bit should work fine on that model. A program like GWSCAN will wipe the drive clean there is another program called killdisk. That will wipe it clean.

    I actually think this belongs in the how-to section. Try looking there. On the other hand i believe you forgot a disclosure: DON’T DO THIS IF YOU ARE NOT A PROFESSIONAL! Heat easily equals dead components.

    But otherwise, that is not always the case. I’ve found that screen resolution matters too.

    On my system (Inspiron 1545) I often had black bars on my screen when playing fullscreen games that were older. Simply just because they were older, they use a lower resolution and thus the computer compensated to keep the aspect ratio. Hence, magic black bars.

    When I was poking around in the intel controllers, i found a ‘keep aspect ratio’ button. Click it and the black bars go away. This may distort and stretch 4:3 ratios a little to much but it usually doesn’t matter with some of the old RPG games. Actually makes them look a little better, if you ask me.

    but again these ratios depend on the system and the chipset. Some chipsets compensate for aspect ratios differently. But if the black bars are completely phantom, i.e always there through BioS, windows start up etc. then you better look at taking it in.

    Thanks for the information, though.
