I have an odd problem. Upon reinstalling Fallout New Vegas and adding some mods I at some point noticed that the FNV Launcher is missing (the GOG version). I have no other explanation but that I accidentally deleted it when installing mods because it was there (I remember it). Because I've already installed a bunch of mods, I don't feel like reinstalling from the scratch. Is there any way to download just the launcher from the GOG files? Can anyone send me the FNV launcher as a link? NVSE starts fine and the game actually works but I can't tweak any video (among others) settings.

Thanks.

EDIT: As a matter of fact, I found out that I can edit video settings over Fallout Mod Manager. But still...

I would try making a second install, if you can. IF you have a second computer available, that is. Don't install all those mods, only the game. Maybe there is a way to transfer just the launcher from the second install to your laptop.

Edit: Can anyone send me the FNV launcher as a link?

If you don't get this sloved during the day I can see about sending a link when I get home later.

No problem. I have the Gog version of FONV.

Here is a link to it on my Google Drive

Thanks!

I have sorted all pictures into albums but there's still a jumbled mess of all pics I have taken when I open the Pictures app. Is there a way to not have them at the top in my reel and only have them in the albums or am I stuck with, down the line, having to scroll down hundreds of pictures just to get to the collection of albums?


Deleting them from the reel apparently also deletes them from the albums

I think the pics go to a “recently deleted” album before they are perma gone. I’m not sure if there is a way to organize the reel outside of putting them on your PC.

Yeah, that's what I can gather from looking at all the options. I did do a search and it actually looks like it's easy-peasy to put pics from an iphone to a Windows PC. I just gotta get a USB-C to USB-A cable.

Being a good marine, I've just backed up most recent savegames and pictures onto my secondary Windows 7.


Last time was April 17th.

Cable purchased but the other stuff will have to wait. Don't really need headphones and that screen protector is 40 bucks. I'll just keep the phone in the wallet for now.


Also; seems to work perfectly transferring pics from iPhone to Windows so yay!

I inadvertently ruined my beloved Logitech Ergo K860 keyboard. It happened yesterday morning, before breakfast, during the first of two vaporized antibiotic treatments. Near treatment end, a glob of liquid spilled out of the exhaust end of my inhalation mouthpiece, dropping on the keyboard. I quickly cleaned it off as best I could. All seemed well at first. The keyboard functioned normally until I broke for breakfast.

At meal's end, I returned to the computer. Now, pressing keys produced totally bizarre results. The keyboard was useless. I gave it compressed air and heated air treatments, then set it aside for the remainder of the day, relying on the keyboard normally attached to the secondary computer. I gave the K860 another chance this morning. All went well . . . until I pressed the "N" key. Nothing happened. It's dead. Same with the right-side space bar.

I'll give it the rest of the day to further dry out, but suspect the worst. You can bet I'll order a new K860 if necessary. In the short amount of time I've used the secondary keyboard, I'm developing pain in my wrists and forearms. Too, the K860 is simply a better design. The downside? It ain't cheap.

RIP, keyboard. I looked up that model and it looks pretty neat - more importantly it seems to help you be more comfy on the puter.

My K860 replacement arrived early afternoon today. Amazon provided super-quick delivery, although I didn't pay extra; instead, I settled for the slow "free" shipping available to non-Prime customers. All wasn't a bed of roses, however. Amazon's tracking email visibly indicated that the package was resting on the porch in a wicker chair. My porch has no wicker chair. It had been dropped off at the wrong house! But which? Luckily, before panic set in I recalled that one of my next-door neighbors has wicker chairs on their front porch. Sure enough, there it was! I'm typing on the new K860. All's well that ends well . . . this time.

I might or might not attempt to take the old K860 apart and see if its two non-responsive keys are fixable. Also, from now on I'll drape a handkerchief across the keyboard during vaporized inhalation treatments. Which reminds me that it's time today's second treatment. <sighs>

[Acadian]

Glad you got it okay. I've known the post office to screw up deliveries with some regularity but have never had Amazon mess up a delivery.

Not a computer issue as such, but a hands-in-the-air-what-the-world-has-come-to kidna comment. I've got a 15 year old computer which I purchased a couple of years ago specifically to run Oblivion (with mods). It is an upgrade for an 18 year old computer which I purchased originally to run Oblivion without (many) mods. The 15 year old one is an i5 with NVIDIA GT 1060 and 8GB RAM, and it works beautifully, even despite running Windows 10. I run Oblivion with TWMP and Morroblivion together which is like 10x Oblivion! I cannot complain.
Yet people keep telling me on Nexus that I have to get a new computer because I am so hopelessly behind the times. And I say NO. Oblivion is a 19 year old game, so if a 15 year old PC cannot run some mods, then I don't want those mods (I'm looking at you, Better Cities!). No, really. Why does Morroblivion fit nicely but not Better Cities? Methinks something is afoot with those Better Cities, actually.
But I digress. The reason I am not looking to upgrade my PC is simply cost. I just don't want to spend "a thousand or two" of whatever currency on a computer meant to run a 20 year old game.
And this is a nod to Renee: I know you're umming and arring whether to buy a whole new PC or to replace the drive in your old PC. If cost is a consideration, then don't tell yourself that you must absolutely have that latest thing and then forego eating for a couple of months. It all depends on your budget, in the end.
