How do I use shimeji on my windows 8 laptop?
I should preface this by saying: I don't have Windows 8, so on some things (or maybe all) I won't be very helpful. Sorry! Er... I'm afraid I'd need more information. Have you used shimeji before, or are you new to it? I wouldn't think it'd be very different from the older Windows, in use. These are the very basics, if you're new to shimeji: http://chibiaisuu.deviantart.com/art/Shimeji-Download-Tutorial-197431947 If your problem is specifically related to Windows, this might help (sorry, I know it's for Windows 7, but hopefully it works for Windows 8, as well): http://shimejis.deviantart.com/journal/Shimeji-problem-for-Windows-7-FIXED-276209910 The dreamscenes are more difficult, since I've never used them, but... dreamscene.org is your friend. It has a Frequently Asked Questions area that you'll definitely want to stop by (http://www.dreamscene.org/preview.php), and it provides a download for the program, and it has a lot of free dreamscenes available. I was going to go through it myself (since dreamscenes are capable of running on my computer), but I ran into a lot of trouble, and apparently Vista (what I use) is really different from other versions of Windows with regards to how everything works. Most of the stuff I found was for Windows 7, but hopefully it works similarly. This (http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/63841-dreamscene-install-windows-7-vista.html) is how to set it up. I hope this helps!
What is better; XP or Windows 8 for a common old laptop user?
Get Windows 8. Seriously. It is VERY peppy on older hardware and you can get Classic Shell (Start menu and other Windows enhancements) to restore the Windows XP look and feel.STOP running Windows XP. No, really. Stop now.If at all possible get 4GB of memory but it runs OK in 2GB if you don't ask too much of it.
Which is better windows 7 or windows 8?
Rule of thumb for Microsoft... every other operating system they make is bad. Example: Windows 98 - good Windows 2000 - eh Windows XP - excellent Windows Vista - horrible Windows 7 - great Windows 8 - amazingly horrible Its a trend that they have unfortunately developed. Windows 8 is 'okay' for basic users that just check facebook and email, and do nothing else on the computer. But for students, businesses, gamers, etc Windows 8 is a nightmare. Its not fully developed and its full of bugs and glitches. I'd say its another year or two before it'll work smoother. Windows 7 has been out for quite some time now and most of the kinks have been worked out. It works well for almost everyone, and most colleges, and many businesses have now upgraded to Windows 7. Almost all software programs are Windows 7 compatible. For Windows 8, not so much. Hope this clears things up. -Justin
