    bioshock questions

    i cant think of any specifics. all i'd suggest is the usual runarounds with directX and drivers.

    Why does the Event Viewer log "event log online help" do absolutely nothing except take you to microsoft web page?

    when you are troubleshooting the last thing you need is useless runaround. In event log at the bottom there is a link to click but when you click it it points you to microsoft'ss website instead of having a list of suggestions for the issue. i would suggest adding a chatgtp plugin right there when its available because this log is useless if online help doesnt help

    Why the runaround?

    Switch to Microsoft Account in Windows 10  


    Well Amazon rushed a new motherboard to me and I got it today. Installed it and this time both sticks of ram work. Now Microsoft is giving me the runaround again trying to re-activate again. Used same steps as last time and just gets me to a page saying Microsoft can't activate Windows. Any ideas?
