| | Once one of those flexible printed cables comes off, getting it back on is harder than the labors of Hercules. Replacing the monitor is cheaper. |
| | I have a duplicating machine capable of copying any CD big by bit. And I am asking Congress to outlaw all copy protection schemes. They cause all kinds of other trouble, and prevent legitimate backups. I remember the first copy protection schemes which locked out legitimate users when something went … |
 | If the computer can't run ANY exe files, it couldn't do anything except sit there in Windows. Apparently the computer is set up to run only software which has been installed by the system administrator. Either that, or someone has been playing with the security settings. Other possibilities: - You …  |
| | It could be just a loose connector on the back of the computer. It could also be malicious software. Scan the computer with a virus checker. Otherwise, it could be either the monitor or the video card in the computer. Try the following to find out which: - Swap monitors … |
| | I did this several years ago in QuickBasic 4.5. I put the call to read the time inside a loop, which repeated until the desired time appeared. Of course, I needed millisecond accurtacy. Now how can I do this under Windows XP? |
| | Whatever you do, DON'T include a field for the social security number. It should be illegal to use it for such purposes. |
| | If it's an LCD screen, the most likely cause its that the flurorescent backlamp is nearing the normal end of its life (in the same way normal fluorescent lamps burn out - by flickering and blinking). A tecnician should be able to replace it. If it's a CDT screen, the … |
| | Stephanie: It sounds like your ISP has blocked the site, probably for security reasons which have nothing to do with the site itself. Often websites and email addresses are blocked by ISPs because some users on the ISP report receiving spam with return addresses showing those addresses. AOL is the … |
| | Possibilities: 1. A higher speed connection. If you have standard dial-up, it's going to go frame-by-frame. The data can't go out fast enough to do anything except frame by frame. A 640 X 480 24-bit color frame contains 7372800 bits. At 56Kbaud, it will take 164.5 seconds (2 minutes 41.5 … |
| | Possible causes: 1. Netscape search adds a green background to anything it finds. Addressing the web page directly removes the green. I just discovered this yesterday. 2. The video card has a bad bit in its green D/A converter. 3. The green pin on the monitor cable may be corroded …  |

| | There is a slignt incompatibility between the latest Netscape and Firefox browsers and web pages produced by Excel. See my post in this forum on a workaround.  |
| | Welcome to the world of Microsift incompatility. They almost NEVER make new systems hardwarily compatible with old ones, requiring new driver interfaces in programs which directly adress hardware. Often recompiling the source code on the new machine fixes the problem. One other little fly in the monitor cleaning fluid: Often … |

| | Re: Pyramid Issue First of all, you need a nonkerning font.... Second, I would use the concatenating + in an assignment statement to give you what you need, such as: nu$ = STR$(i) hol$ = nu$ + lis$ + nu$ lis$ = hol$ This adds the new number to both ends of the … |
| | This is what's wrong with computing today. Stuff with a theoretically projected lifetime of 20 years becomes obsolete after 3 years, after which the company no longer supports it. :mad: I have 4 perfectly good printers which don't work, solely because I can't buy the ink cartridges for them anymore. … |
| | I can think of only a few causes: - Both devices on the same interrupt - Both devices have the same IDE address - Too much load on the power supply 12 line - Motherboard or driver board failure |
| | Now what I need is a program for Windows which does just the opposite: Keeps one program running until it terminates, with NO interruptions of any kind. |
| | I have also seen this happen if the driver is expecting the wrong screen. |

 | I usually use Excel. I just input the formulas for the circuitry and let the spreadsheet do the work. |
| | They're just trying to rock you to sleep. Everyone knows the world will end in 2038. That's the year UNIX runs out of dates. |

 | 1. Bally "Fireball" (pinball machine) 2. Williams "Gulfstream II" (pinball machine) 3. Croquet 4. Parker Brothers "Monopoly" 5. Dictionary Nobody said they had to be computer games. The computer games would have to be far down the list. But it I restrict it to computer games, I would pick: 1. …  |
| | It can't be calculated, because Windows always wants its time slice right in the middle. |
 | I also learned Pascal first. I hate C. And I need real time programming with millisecond accuracy, which Microsift has taken away. |
| | What worries me: - Government taking 72 percent of the economy in taxes (when you consider that customers pay all business taxes in raised purchase prices). This will eventually collapse our economy. - Too much government meddling in daily lives. - Liberals turning political correctness and environmentalism into state religions. …  |

| | Learn to use the DRAW command and you can make ANYTHING! |
| | CDR troubles? Check this list: - Most older drives can see CDR discs, but NOT the CDRW discs - an extra LASER of a different color is needed for CDRW playback. - Most early DVD drives cannot see either CDR or CDRW disks, because the LASER color is wrong. - … |
| | Re: Text Timer Be aware that the time is updated in Windows once every eighteenth of a second. Unless your compiler has a way to access the hardware real time clock outside the Windows I/O period, 1/18 s will be the limit of your resolution. Windows was designed for business, not science. |
| | That's usually a result of trouble at the website's computer, not yours. But there are a few other things which could be slowing things down: - Your cookie and browser security settings. - Your antivirus software. - An unusual screen format (requiring the images to be converted to be displayed). … |
| | Re: Blurry screen Look for the following: - Ionic air cleaner - Something magnetic near the monitor - Hair spray getting on the screen (don't laugh - it happened here) - Something the janitors are using to clean the monitor. - Need glasses? |
| | If it's a fluorescent backlight, the lamp is nearing the end of its life. You see it more if the screen is moving relative to your eyes. |
| | Static allocation is done at the time the program is written. The programmer reserves a set amount of memory for each use. That setting will be used each time the program runs. Dynamic allocation is done while the program runs, adjusting the amount of memory for each use according to … |

 | There are too many commercial software programmers out there who assume that all computers using their products will have access to the internet. But there are many applications where internet access is either unlikely (no communications available), or will cause timing problems which defeat the original purpose of having the … |
