Age of Empires III: problem installing War Chiefs

I can't install the War Chiefs expansion pack because the "Age of Empires III was not installed for All Users or the current user. Please log in with the correct account. This setup will exit." error always pops up and I have Windows 7.

So there is a solution:

in this path:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

create some new directories:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III

ProgramData is a invisible directory, write the address in the address bar, then create Microsoft Games directory, then create another directory inside called Age of Empires III.

Install War Chiefs and et-voilà!!

Today ~2000  users on ESO!! Let's play!!

CD/DVD cover with A4

Now we have the usb keys, but a few years ago we used the CD/DVD more often.
And I never had a case at hand.

A good piece of A4 paper and the problem is solved!

ES Online (Age Of Empires 3 servers) are still online

The servers of Age Of Empires 3 are still online!
I re-install my copy of Age Of Empires 3 and the expansions (War Chiefs + Asian Dynasties).

AoE3 is the best chapter of the AoE saga. Imho.

The X-Files gaming

I remember the first X-Files game for Playstation 1...

and I remember that the memory card was corrupted (fuc*) when I was in the second disk.
Disappointed and frustrated I played it no more.


For the Playstation 2 there is The X-Files: Resist or Serve

Some screens...

My Ps2 is gone, so... I'm playing on emulator, but is slow as shit: fault of my computer (damned single-core).

I must find a way to play it decently... I like too much X-Files series and this game looks promising.

FirefoxOS, test it on your Windows/macOs/linux

Firefox OS is the new mobile OS from Mozilla...

Firefox OS consists of 3 basic software layers: 

• Gonk (kernal, HAL, and low-level components
• Gecko (rendering engine, web APIs)
• and Gaia (HTML5 User interface layer).       

Would you try it in your pc?

Do you want the easy way? Go here http://cloud.github.com/downloads/sihorton/b2g-desktop-profile-installer/b2g-gaia-desktop.exe

or.... (let's try this):

Download the B2G packet from this page:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/

choose your build version (linux, mac, win...):

Download only the 14 MB file!

Downloading Left 4 Dead 2

Yes, is not a recent game, but...is not even that old.
I wanted so much to own it and play it so I took advantage of discounts on Steam.
Waiting for download... 13 GB with 80kb/s, oh my god... it will never end!

Borderless Windows theme...

Theme applied!

Do you remember 3rd party themes on Windows?
If you forgot about them follow this link (second part):
http://www.lollercoasterlab.com/2011/09/customize-your-windows.html

Do you remember? You need to patch with Universal Theme Patcher and then put these files in the themes directory:  C:\Windows\Resources\Themes 
and then Personalize > apply the theme.

Now we install this theme with no-border (apparently), download it:
http://www.everplexmedia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=16

and put it in the Themes directory. Apply and enjoy.

The borders are present, but there is no line, so it's only "blur". A bad thing in this theme (imho) is the black skin applied on the taskbar... it's a bit strange, but... try it!
