Windows 10: receiving abend

I am running Windows 10 and received an update last night as I was shutting down for the night. Now, when I try and run my old Sid Meier's Railroads! game I am receiving an abend. Not sure what was changed that is impacting this game, but please undo whatever was changed.

GWXUX Keeps abending

I have 2 Windows 7 machines, a DELL desktop and a HP laptop. I reserved my copy of Windows 10 on each one on Sept. 23rd.

• I've received word that my download is available for the Dell and am awaiting a good time to install.
• The HP still says the "We are validating Windows 10 for your machine" or words to that effect. On the HP laptop something called GWXUX keeps abending ever since I reserved Windows 10. I close the program per the pop-up box.
  • How do I fix this?
  • Is this what is causing the delay on the Windows 10 availability on this machine?

Thank you.

 

EVGA GTX 2xx series Reinbursement Service

XFX started it and Evga is doing the same. Evga is starting its own reinbursement program for those who bought the Evga 2xx series when they first came out. All you have to do is follow a few steps.

• Must be a new purchase from an authorized EVGA reseller. Step-ups do not qualify.
• You have 14 days to register and upload a qualified invoice to claim your EVGA Bucks.
• Only customers who purhased the EVGA GTX 280 or GTX 260 at the full Manufactured Suggested Reatil Price (MSRP) will qualify for the Reimbursement Program.
• If between June 16th and July 7th you purchased an:

• EVGA GTX 260 you will receive $75.00 in EVGA Bucks* or $60.00 Cash Back
• EVGA GTX 280 you will receive $150.00 in EVGA Bucks* or $125.00 Cash Back

The only thing this doesn't cover is the Step-up program. I'm fine with that because I got the price cut anyway. I just hope to get the card by this weekend if not early next week. I have a itch to bench. *Rockout :rockout:
