I hate to say this, but, I kinda like the 2016 Macbook Pro.  The keyboard is kinda strange feeling for typing and the trackpad looks and feels oversized, but overall it's rather nice feeling to use and even has a very nice display.

Possessed.  No fix for that, time to sacrifice a goat to them and pronounce them as your true deity

"You don't need more than 16GB's of RAM, that is overkill" ~ Thought process from 1-2 years ago



Makes me think I need to get more than 24GB's of quad channel.  It's fast memory but I may just not have enough capacity for even one adobe product...

Also, that 0% disk usage is great

i selected my usual folder which is Secondary Disk (E:) > My name > steamapps > commonyou didnt suggest a route...?

The way I showed you to add a steam library both restores games and is how you set it up to install to another drive.  If you just made a folder and manually mapped to it yourself, you may just be out of luck since you didn't map it properly.

so make a new folder for your new steam library
make steam see it as the new library area
move the games into that folder
then attempt to install them on steam, and it should see them and be all yep ok done (note you still need the hard drive space to install for it to start detecting)

He may be right

thanksi'm not, i just didnt want this to get lost in the second page of off topic and me never getting help

Did you have it mapped this way before, or did you just select a folder manually?  Otherwise, if you didn't do my route I suggested originally when you installed all the games, you should just back up specific game save data that doesn't go to steam cloud and reinstall them all.

When you're at work on a quiet company shutdown day when 3 pallets of computer stuff shows up



mfw all of that costs more than a modest car at around 20k.  That's only because there are Xeon based workstations in there that are 3400 a piece, 4 to be precise, and about 2-3 dozen HP Elitebooks ranging from 820 and 840 G3's to the ZBook 15 G3 which cost 2200 a piece.

It would be fair speculation to suspect the OS being 32 bit could have an effect on what is going on.  Morbid curiosity brought me to some light internet reserach and I found an article regarding AMD dropping 32 bit driver support.

https://www.techpowerup.com/221296/amd-preparing-to-drop-32-bit-support-for-radeon-drivers

This knowledge-base article, intended for people looking for 32-bit drivers, reads:
A system running Microsoft Windows 10 64 Bit can take full advantage of the advanced visual and performance features of these graphics cards. However, AMD also provides 64 Bit drivers for Microsoft Windows 8.1 and Microsoft Windows 7 to accomodate those users who choose to use an older Microsoft Operating System.

I did some sleuthing and found an article that contains the Crimson software (aka your drivers and utility software suite) that has a 32bit download for your wonderful 32bit version of windows 10.  Odds are even if it isn't the latest and greatest, just try updating the software once it's running if it works right.

May be time to try the display driver uninstaller software, personally found this helpful when switching from AMD to Nvidia because I am lazy and don't want to hand uninstall all the AMD bullstuff like evolve gaming and raptr.

Make sure that if you uninstall it from control panel, you uninstall the drivers with it from device manager, otherwise it may be showing up as an unknown device somewhere.

Are you purely uninstalling via device manager, or are you even uninstalling the AMD stuff?



Should look like this but with AMD programs instead

yes i did. i still cannot find the AMD control panel

You may need to uninstall the driver software you have installed, and reinstall it all and then of course restart your machine when done.

ok. so ive disconnected one of the monitorsand rebooted. now my center monitor is mirroring the second one and i still lack the ability to find the AMD control panel, the GPU isnt showing up on my device manager, and skyrim still crashes a minute in on low settings so it still has problems that probably arent related to the third monitor issue

Have you installed the drivers directly from AMD's site?  Otherwise you should be able to access Radeon settings by right clicking on the desktop if installed properly
