Nvidia changed the format of their downloads. You can still install old .RPM versions of their drivers if you happen to have them handy. However, for their latest drivers, download the *.run file from their website. Then, set the permissions of this file to be executable by root. Login to …

I've never done anything like this via windows before. My guess, however, is that you would need some form of mail or SMTP server (perhaps the one built-into IIS?) What VirusScan program are you using?

Open up your computer and take out the ram sticks. Make sure there's no dirt and dust in the slot and that the bottom of the sticks can make good contact with the slots in the motherboard. Then, very carefully put them back in and double and even triple check …

Change the runlevel from GUI mode to text mode. Follow these instructions in reverse: [url]http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/xbootup.html[/url] They show how to go from text mode to graphical mode. Just go backwards. (Instead of from runlevel 3 to 5, go from runlevel 5 to 3.

It seems like this problem has to do with the refresh rate. Monitors require different refresh rates depending on the resolution you wish to use. Check your monitor's manual (or search for your monitor model on the web) to find the refresh rate for 640x480 resolution. In windows, go into …

Oh my goodness gracious! What I suggest is to possibly use a recursive function, since you can't use a loop. This calls a function multiple times until a condition is met. (You pass the parameters for the condition into the function). Tell me if this works: [code] void moveKiloMile(int i) …

I'm glad you were able to get it working finally. However, I'm sorry you had to resort to uninstalling and reinstalling Internet Explorer ... it's a large component of Windows and reinstalling it can sometimes screw a lot of underlying OS stuff up IMHO.

Well, it depends what sort of game you want to make. C++ is, indeed, often used to make games. However, it requires a lot of expertise in programming. If you are not a programmer, try your hand at DarkBASIC first. [url]www.darkbasic.com[/url]

Re: Java

When you have int main() it means that the function main() is returning a value of type int (an integer). Right after your cout statement you have to add a return (0); statement.
