in that case the store deals in pirated software and is breaking the law (not surprising as many especially smaller stores do just that). He probably installed a pirated cracked copy with the activation system disabled. Be glad your machine no longer works as it now gives you an incentive …

easy: write them.

[QUOTE=Narue]>it will take the ASCII value of a which is 97 We don't care whether you know what the integer values of the ASCII characters are. Stop assuming a specific character set. Geez, how many times do I have to repeat myself before you people get a clue?[/QUOTE] And NOW …

Whether you get exception handling or not depends on the flavour of Pascal you're working with. Delphi (which is Pascal with a nice IDE and stuff) for example has a comprehensive exception mechanism (though it might not have been available in the very early versions, I don't have those here …

a map of function pointers using the received bytes (turned into a string maybe) as a key would work nicely.

what does it do? and what should it do according to you? and use code tags, I won't read any code that doesn't use them.

And of course the cost of electricity, the computer(s) you host on (and money set aside to replace/repair them), backup tapes/CDs/DVDs, etc. etc.

Most likely the crack installs the malware whenever you run the game (I guess that's what you cracked, you pirate). Your own fault, let it be a lesson.

As an asides, Kazaa is well known to be among the worst sources of infections with spyware, virusses and other nasties. It both installs a load of them itself and a lot of the crap offered for download by other users will be infected as well.

yes, removable disks work well. I've done that in the past several times for test machines. Have harddisks with different OSs, different versions of the software under test. Just swap in the one you need and get going, apart from the stuff on that disk everything in the machine is …

what's this got to do with C(++) programming?

[QUOTE=Comatose]After Taking The plunge, and going ahead and deleting rundll32.exe, I found some things in the system DID NOT WORK. So, it turns out that the OS (WINDOWS) actually DOES use rundll32.exe. It's not just some program that's fun to have. It wouldn't let me load properties of my computer …

Don't trust everything (if anything) you see. The first faked pictures are already appearing (as are hosts of scams trying to look like charities).

[QUOTE=frrossk]No, probably it wouldn't...If you have any problem, why don't you post here?[/QUOTE] well, it would be easier for him/her... Which shows (s)he's lazy.

1) goto is mainly used by people with no clue as to how to avoid the need to use it. 2) people saying goto should never be used typically have no understanding of when and how it might be the most natural and/or efficient solution. 3) teachers will generally say …

IE itself is pretty good, IMO it's superior to all the competition.

a safer way to disable the indexing service is to go into "my computer"->administrative tools->services, double click the indexing service, and change its status to "disabled" (from manual or automatic).

Don't use applet classes outside applets, they won't work outside the applet sandbox. If this is an applet, remember you can not access ANY resource that doesn't reside on the same server as the one from which the applet main class was loaded.

you do seem to do a lot of string manipulation which may not be necessary at all. [code] string s = poly; s = "+" + s; [/code] would be more efficiently written as [code] string s = "+" + poly; [/code] for example. [code] while (index != string::npos) { …

For one I'd be very careful with that product name. I doubt Microsoft will like you using their trademark.

add [code] std::string dummy; cin << dummy; [/code] your cin.get() was probably reading the enter you pressed...

String handling in C++ is NOT generally to be done using char[] or char*, but using the class string which is available in <string>. Far easier and more safe. So instead of the code you have you'd simply do [code] string s; cin << s; [/code]

switch statements work only on integer values. In Java the values you switch on also are required to be constant values (either integer literals or defined constant values), C++ might be more relaxed about that. If the string represent an integer (for example "1") you can use itoa to turn …

hmm, my earlier response seems to have been lost in the depths of the web ;) Let's try again: the class File (which you use to open and handle disk files as well as in-memory files) has an option to delete a file if it exists and you open it …

One thing I notice immediately is that you're throwing away the result of your sortArray method. That means you're never sorting your array at all (or at least, you're sorting it but then keep on using the unsorted array).

File has a method to clear an existing file on opening (or rather a flag to the open() method if I'm not mistaken).

Two possible reasons: 1) there's something you didn't catch which keeps reloading the stuff 2) you keep visiting the same old websites (or running the same old applications) which got it onto your machine in the first place. The following look suspicious to me. Maybe there's a few there that …

Short log is good ;) Most likely the driver for your flashdrive is slow. You shouldn't need one anyway on any version of Windows newer than Windows 98. O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PHIME2002ASync] C:\WINDOWS\System32\IME\TINTLGNT\TINTSETP.EXE /SYNC O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PHIME2002A] C:\WINDOWS\System32\IME\TINTLGNT\TINTSETP.EXE /IMEName What are those 2 for? They LOOK harmless and probably …

You are using parts of the Struts framework. Either (and that's what I prefer as I don't like it one bit) ditch it or change your classpath to include the necessary jar file (which you should have if you installed Struts).

What's a few hundred megs total? Install everything, you can always remove parts if after a few months it turns out you never use them ;)

nah. it's written in the wrong font size, that machines that have trouble cannot read the small text.

Check out the J2EE documentation. web.xml is the configuration file for your web application. It tells the servlet engine what servlets map to which URIs, maps your filters, security settings, etc. etc. etc. The format and function are defined by Sun, not the Apache group.

Check your class definition. Your main class MUST be public (though some runtime versions (especially older ones) may have permitted default access that's no longer the case and was never recommended).

These look highly suspicious too: O16 - DPF: {3B02AAA2-327C-40ED-A849-4BE819AE5385} (ImgSizer Control) - file://C:\Documents and Settings\Administratör\Lokala inställningar\Temp\~DlfnTmp0\imgSizer.ocx O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - [url]http://207.188.7.150/03493b97aa74f0...ip/RdxIE601.cab[/url] And get rid of realplayer. It's a spyware infested mess. Replace Norton with a good AV product.

What OS and stuff are you using on the laptop? I've got Morrowind installed and running fine on Windows 2000. I did notice Morrowind is a bit picky as to sound and videosettings, but those only come AFTER installation. Render failure could be that, an incorrectly configured videosystem. Try different …

Long answer: It all depends on what you want to do with it. You can certainly CREATE an image object of some 3rd party library without explicitly importing Swing, and probably manipulate it as well using that same library. You can then probably save it again as well. You WILL …

sure you can plot a histogram in console mode. After all it's just a collation of data with one column or row for each value (a barchart). Easiest on the commandline would be to use a line for each value and just print a single block or something for each …

You might start posting your questions in relevant places where people may find them sooner that can help you out... First learn Java, and learn it very well. This should take a few years. Then start writing the game design document. This should describe exactly what the game is, storyline …

no you can't, at least not in that form. The conditional expression returns a value, it cannot terminate a method. Instead you would use [code]return (a==2)?4:5;[/code]

and get rid of weatherbug which is spyware infested.

BlackIce has a rather poor reputation as a "firewall". It used to have a lot of holes while at the same time reporting nonexistent attacks to make people think it was doing its job. I'd suggest you get another firewall to replace it. That screensaver sounds dubious. MANY "free" screensavers …

it's your recycling bin. It's not only harmless, it's meant to be there.

Get a GOOD book. The O'Reilly book on JSP is excellent. Don't start on EJB unless you must. It's an overweight technology that should not be used in over 90% of the cases it is used... And no, you're not getting private assistance. Asking for that in a public forum …

read the instructions, the installation (and integration with Apache) are well documented. And no, I'm not going to email you about it. Asking for private assistance in a public forum is extremely rude. P.S. you may want to check out the period (.) key on your keyboard and use it …

no. You CAN IF the network card supports it query the network card using a proprietary API for that card and command it to do some things. This is (for security reasons) usually either disabled, not installed, or severely limited. You'd also need a (usuall) C or C++ program for …

You don't want to do that. It's considered rude in command line programs and in all others building up your own screen will replace what's underneath it anyway (at least while your application is running). There's no platform independent way to achieve it btw (probably because of that) so if …

Wow, you've been using Borland C++ for 2 years and you still have only "a touch of programming"?

sounds Australian, which I guess makes it weird ;)

well, it works according to the standard definition of what a word is, which is anything delimited by whitespace. Of course it's not complete as you fail to detect line breaks and tabs as word boundaries.

cracks should NEVER be used. Their use not only voids your license, they also openly show your support for software piracy.
