Also, if I'm not mistaken, Start8 works with Windows 10. I thought I had answered this a couple of hours ago, but I don't see my message, so I guess I didn't. |

I thought I had answered this a couple of hours ago, but I don't see my message, so I guess I didn't. I just *did* see my reply. It was in the Windows 10 newsgroup, not here. You posted the same message separately to two newgroups. Please do not send the same message separately to more than one newsgroup (called multiposting). Doing so just fragments the thread, so someone who answers in one newsgroup doesn't always get to see answers from others in another newsgroup. And for those who read all the newsgroups the message is multiposted to, they see the message multiple times instead of once (they would see it only once if you correctly crossposted instead). This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help than you should get. If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so by crossposting -- sending a single message simultaneously to multiple newsgroups (but only to a *few* related newsgroups). |

This wastes everyone's time, and gets you poorer help than you should get. There is also the issue of multiple usage of resources. There is the bandwidth to peer the duplicated post across all interconnected NNTP servers making up the worldwide mesh network of Usenet. There is consuming more disk space at each of those NNTP servers for multiple copies of the same post rather than multiple pointers to one copy of the article. Per server, the resource consumption is small; however, the OP is not submitting to just one NNTP server. Across all NNTP servers, consumption is not so small anymore. Cross-posting submits ONE copy into the Articles database, sends it ONCE between each of the peering NNTP servers, and consumes disk space for ONE copy of the article at each of those servers. If you must send the same message to more than one newsgroup, please do so by crossposting -- sending a single message simultaneously to multiple newsgroups (but only to a *few* related newsgroups). Provided the article is related to each of the cross-posted newsgroups. In this case, the OP's submission was off-topic to this Windows *7* newsgroup: the OP has no intention of using Start 10 on Windows 7. The OP should have submitted *only* to the Windows 10 newsgroup, not shotgun his inquiry, whether cross- or multi-posted, trying to cull expertise across multiple audiences. The OP's issue dealt *only* with Windows 10. |

Per Ken Blake:
Also, if I'm not mistaken, Start8 works with Windows 10. That has been my experience: had a laptop w/Win8 and Start 8. Had to "upgrade" to Win 10, and Start8 just kept on truckin'. -- Pete Cresswell |
