Question by mark: Why it has been named as Windows 7?
Hey, Im just wondering why the latest Windows version (except 8, of course), has been name as “Windows 7″? Is it because it is the 7th version of Windows in history?
Best answer:
Answer by why
Exactamundo. It is the 7th release in Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Although, I concur, they should have came up with a better name for it.

Question by combustion: Windows 7 “the item ****.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or removed”?
I was uninstalling Sony Vegas Pro when seconds later, most program icons on my start menu (I don’t have desktop icons) turn into an icon of a page with a pop-up window in the middle. When I go to open the programs, it says that the shortcut has been changed/removed and will no longer work properly. I looked online, on forums, Microsoft website, but either I cannot find anything, or the only solution I found was that I do a system recovery. I’m not sure if I backed my system up but if I did, a lot of the programs I currently have will be deleted. I don’t have any virus, malware, whatever, I did a full scan and it came clean. I tried going to the program directly in their folders but the program is not inside, just the help manual, language, etc.
Any solutions or ideas? Thank you very much!
How can I be more specific? The programs affected were in no way related to Sony Vegas. Adobe
(anything but PDF), Audactity, Skype….My problems is that I want the programs back so I can use them.

Answer by Demiurge
Well were the icons related to the game or program? If so just right click them and select unpin if you are running windows 7. You need to be more specific because what your clicking on has been removed from your computer but somehow in someway it seems it did not remove the Icons.
How did you remove it? By deleting a folder or add / remove programs in control panel?
I’m trying to help you. Are you talking about Icons on the start menu?

SILICON VALLEY, CA (PRWEB) September 7, 2004
Nurve Networks LLC unveils what is undoubtedly the most unexpected kind of new video game system: one that users will learn how to design, program and build themselves.
Video games generate billions of dollars in revenue each year and game programming books occupy rows of bookstore shelf space. Video game development has made its way into college curriculums and entire game programming universities have emerged. But, video games run on advanced hardware, the design of which is a black art that few understand.
For over a decade, books by Computer Scientist and best-selling game development author Andre’ LaMothe (his latest title “Tricks of the 3D Game Programming Gurus”) have taught generations of game developers to create today’s cutting-edge video games. Now, his focus is changing from video game software to video game hardware with the unveiling of the XGameStation Micro Edition, a revolutionary new video game system that offers users what no PlayStation or XBOX can — knowledge.
The XGameStation Micro Edition (XGS ME) is a complete game development kit inspired by classic systems such as the Atari 2600, 800, Apple II, C64 and Nintendo Entertainment System. The XGS kit includes a fully-assembled XGS unit with all necessary cables, a full-length eBook written by Andre LaMothe on the design and programming of the XGS along with all the software necessary to create your own games, demos, and experiments. The book introduces the reader to analog/digital engineering, then gradually explores the entire design of the XGS’s hardware and software.
Armed with a complete understanding of how the system was built and operates, users then create their own games or play games made by their peers. The online community at http://www.xgamestation.com completes the system’s appeal, providing a place for XGameStation developers to share ideas, software and even discuss hardware modifications.
The system plugs into any NTSC/PAL TV and supports vintage Atari 2600 controllers as well as a PS/2 keyboard. XGameStation Micro Edition games and applications are stored on internal processor Flash, allowing users to develop and download their games from a PC using the accompanying tools.
In short, by empowering hobbyists and game developers with a game platform they can truly call their own, the XGameStation Micro Edition is reviving the magic of programming and hardware hacking for systems like the Apple II, Atari 800 and Commodore 64.
The official website for the XGameStation is http://www.xgamestation.com/ there you will find Media, Downloads, Demos, and more information on purchasing the XGS Micro Edition.

Question by Stephanie: How to open windows that have been painted shut?
The storm windows were removed, the windows were painted shut and now the storm windows are back on. Therefore; not allowing me direct access to the painted window. How would you suggest I open the windows without removing the storm windows, if at all possible?
Because the storm windows are on the outside and closed, I can’t access the painted side of the window. Is there another way to open the window without having to remove the storm windows in order to get to the edges that i need to cut.
Best answer:
Answer by John
You have to get a box cutter (the type with the razor blade) and cut the paint along the edges and bottom pf the window frame.
