Old PC, old Windows, still works like a charm

I've got one of those monitors. Is your one also not very sharp on the corners? I tried to tune mine with flyback adjustments, but can't get the corners good.

Did You try reducing contrast/brightness? It might be unrelated but I had messed up sides of the image on a CRT and reducing contrast made it look perfect.

When you said old PC, I expected the splash-screen for Windows 3.11 to show up. XP is old now. I am old now.

It definitely doesn’t help that XP was getting used regularly through the early 2010’s by many. Vista feels older than XP to me 😂

I was expecting the same, except I was hyped to see that sexy Windows 98 bootscreen and blasting its startup sound on the speakers, but I just can’t resist crying a little inside whenever I hear that glorious XP startup through my ears.

Yup, XP has almost reached the same age as me lol.

Maybe calling it “old” was a bit much, but it’s definitely not young anymore. A quarter of a century already. Let’s just call it classic, guess that makes us classic too xd

We're already becoming like old cars now, pretty rusty on the outside but still alive and kicking 🤣🤣🤣

When I think about how old XP is now, it makes me feel a bit dizzy it still doesn’t feel like it was that long ago.
