Hello,
im using Geekbench from the start i love that is one of few tools which is running on the old and new machine add different platforms and has nice online quick results repository.

  I managed to run Geekbench 2 on original Penitum mmx and AMD K6-2, there are Cyrix results.. only problem is that newer versions (last version of 2) of Geekbench 2 are no more running on Win10. The last version which is running on Windows 10 is 2.1.13 after something broke - Geekbench GUI is no more starting, no error message, it could be only some visual thing.
  Versions 2.0 to 2.13 have not working result upload run stating on Win10 fine, but i can use them because of broken upload.

  If its not too much work, it would be really nice to fix version 2.4.3 on Windows 10, or if its too much work, release source for these old outdated versions to let community to fix it.

 BTW first versions of Geekbench 2 even run on Windows 9x and NT4..
