Just like the title says, Opera is still downloading Youtube videos well after I close the tab the video was in. The only way I have to stop is to close Opera, but it starts again every time I open a page that has a YT video in it. Opera is current, version 23.0.1522.60. I have Youtube Center...

Problem solved. It turned out that flashing a new SSD firmware has fixed the issue.

I've noticed that since upgrading to Windows 8.1, it doesn't seem to want to detect my RAID array. Upon system boot, it's not detected, but a few minutes after boot up, it detects my array as a removable device (even though they are connected to the motherboard's SATA ports). Also, the...

For reference, I'm using the PCI version of the Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer. Lately my sound has randomly become distorted with a buzzing-like tone to it that gets progressively worse until I restart my computer. Also, at times the sound will just randomly mute until I use the Creative...

Well, part of its lack of popularity is how short it is. I beat it fresh in only 3 or 4 hours. Also, for what it's worth, I guess I solved why Borderlands wasn't working, though I don't know how.

Apparently it works just fine now, I think it's because I used the WillowEngine.ini file to allow DX10, but I don't know for sure. Using the movie skip trick above didn't work, as I still get the startup movies. Regardless, it's fixed for me now, and for any others experiencing the issue, I...

It's on Softonic: Microsoft Pinball For Windows Vista & 7 - Download Although it's listed for Vista and 7, I have installed it and it works fine on 8.

As of recently, I have noticed my sound will randomly just stop. There's first a brief half-second of a static-like crackling and then a few "pop" noises. It will then stay muted for anywhere between a few seconds to several minutes. However, using my Creative software (either Creative Console...

AMD Phenom II x4 running at 4 GHz XFX Radeon HD 6950 16 GB DDR3 Memory @ 1333 MHz Patriot Pyro SSD (in SATA 2 because my mobo doesn't have SATA 3)

That OpenGL hit... ouch.

Has anyone been able to get Borderlands to successfully play on Windows 8? If so, what workarounds (if any) did you have to use? I have tried running as administrator, running in compatibility mode for XP, Vista, and 7, reinstalling the latest stable and beta graphics drivers, reinstalling VC++...

I have tried compatibility mode for XP, Vista, and 7 with the same issue.

I downloaded and installed all the .dll's. They were already in the system32 directory, but I copied and replaced them anyway, backing up the originals. The problem still persists as stated.

I have tried reinstalling the DX distributables, and it hasn't worked. Tells me that a newer version is already installed. Could you tell me where to get said .dll?

What version of the Nvidia driver do you have? If it's not the most recent WHQL, update to it. If it's a beta driver, roll back to the latest WHQL. If it is the latest WHQL, try a fresh reinstall of it. It seems to me like a graphics/driver issue that's causing the BL2 and CoD4 issues.
