    Please software devs - old versions sometimes better than new ones


    Hi folks
    Why is it that sometimes the old versions of programs are often so much more usuer friendly than newer ones (not always I might add).

    Typical example here is the AVG Video converter -- this old release works really well converting 1:1 a file forom mwts to mkv format without loss of format etc.

    the latest version is a hodgepodge and really complicated to do a simple file conversion at 1:1

    Please developers keep stuff functional -- and don't remove easy features from old versions.

    Cheers
    jimbo

    :)

    Why don't the old versions of software get deleted when updating?

    Most of the Microsoft ones are looked at as updates.
    The Java ones... you have to delete the versions you don't want.

    There are ways to clean up the listing... manually or by some software.

    EDIT: Some is poorly written software that does not clean up after itself, too.

  3. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type
    the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly
    allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Best regards,

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
