Here's the document. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3146449

This update adds functionality to Internet Explorer 11 on some computers that lets users learn about Windows 10 or start an upgrade to Windows 10.

This just in, the hand may have moved again. http://news.softpedia.com/news/microsoft-now-pushing-windows-10-nag-ads-on-domain-pcs-501573.shtml

InfoWorld adds that some IT admins have already confirmed that the changes were spotted this week, so most likely, Microsoft updated the infamous KB3035583 patch to show upgrade prompts on domain computers too.

Microsoft appears to mix a security update wtih a nag screen in IE11.

http://www.extremetech.com/computing/224420-new-ie11-update-may-sneak-windows-10-upgrade-options-into-security-patch

There's a fine exception in the code for domain logins which everyone seems to agree is to not upset the corporate customers.

Since most don't want to forgo a security patch, my advice is to not use IE11.

1. There's a writeup out there about the .exe fix. I can't tell if you read it. It's not a .exe file.
2. I use a memory stick or CD to get the files over.

There are folk that can't do such repairs for many reasons. Those folk are left with factory recovery systems and repair counters.

Can't see where $hobby or $hobbies array is declared. What line is that on?

I can't guess your idea of what that code will do but the 2nd item is a string so that error would be correct.
Reference: http://php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php
and http://php.net/manual/en/function.in-array.php

Maybe you declared it an array but I don't see your code to check here.

I see that tag "problem" no OS, make, model, or story where you guess how this happened. This could be Windows 1 to that new mystery 10+ version of Blue.

Try MSCONFIG and uncheck everything for a test startup. (Windows only, does not apply to other OSes.)

What would be an alternative? The prior discussion seems to cover the ways to get a list of files plus advice on how random works (according to Microsoft.)

This looks too similar to your post at https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/503251/vbhow-to-randomly-display-a-photo-from-your-files-to-a-pcturebox

@diafol. I think his prior posts reveal that he's stuck with finding some settings to finely emulate this in Chrome. The cheapest s6 new here was 400 bucks but and this is a big one, if they would attend a Samsung event and get it done. Here I run into Samsung at those mobile phone conventions and other seminars. No one I know owns the S6 and the few I know are waiting to get the S7. Kudo's to Sasmung for putting waterproofing back into the s7.

I think you have to do this in a Sanders, Clinton or Trump scenario case as well. Beyond that it looks like homework so show some effort.

I gotta ask this. If you can't walk, what are you doing? Crawling, running or frozen in place?

My thought is there would be prior discussions on this. So here's my idea to find the priors.

The hand has moved. I'm getting reports of unsolicited, can't opt out upgrades to 10. https://www.google.com/#q=microsoft+windows+10+forced+upgrade seems to note you'll get the upgrade due to it becoming a Recommended item in Windows Update.

@Sphinx. Interesting. While I've only be around PCs since about the model 5150 I never used DISM to repair a busted Windows. At the office we use images if the damages is deep enough that old SFC won't do along with those usual malware scans.

@Anna_5. Tip. Don't bury a new question in such old discussions.

@Khw09. It's been generally accepted that if you have a new question you start a new discussion. I found no mention of Excel in your top post and question.

When you post your new question, show what you tried along with the version Excel and your code so far.

Question unclear. So is this one website or two websites?

While it's been a few years, I never used any code to make barcodes. Here was just a font. I would change to the barcode font and I was done.

@Khw09, I'm going with no. If a new programmer learns how to get others to write code for them, then they won't learn how to research and code.

For example in step 1 of the psuedocode I could google "How to get a list of filenames into an array in Visual Basic?" Seems that folk have done that. You as an aspiring programmer must learn to research. That I will help with by providing what search phrases if you can't find the right words.

I read your post twice and can't determine what you are trying to do. Yes, you ask some questions but what you are trying to accomplish is unclear.

Duplicate? Anyhow, given the story I would not give a nod to this being hardware or software. I worry about older machines (you didn't tell much about the laptop), torrent users (who get the latest malware it seems) and then the continent of folk that install 10 but don't install motherboard and other drivers to finish the job.

The caps lock flashing could be maker dependant yet you left out the detail for others to look further. Do that research now.

In psuedocode something like.

1. Get the list of files in an array.
2. Use a random number from 1 to the number of files.
3. That line of code would be used and for the filename would be from the array with the index being the random number in psuedocode line 2.

@fo2sh. That's the idea. You limit the flood in your example to once every 15 seconds. If that works for you, you're done. There are perfectionists that will want more but in many cases you only need to get the tech the message and said tech will log in more than 15 seconds later to read the log and ... see the flood if there was one.

If you recovered and it happens again it means you didn't learn from the prior experience.

I won't pull any punches here on out. You need to take better care of your files. These are called backups. Your choice how to do that.

Time to research the following. CLICKONCE

My nod is to using engines. I think that engine creation is an art and team all to its own. So for a game creator it's more about the big design and then how to implement. If you dive into a graphics engine you are now buried in that.

If you can afford unity, I'd stick with that as, and this is an opinion, not fact, that way you get a shot at cross platform and more.

My advice is to not make duplicate posts. I think I see more than two of the same question from you. Folk may notice and you'll get no replies.

That said, did you even take a course like System Design? These are not so much about programming but how to design a system with workflow, thinking about the end goal and then back to the beginning. You lay out the steps from beginning to end that you can then put into practice either with humans or automation (computers, apps, etc.)

Good tools mentioned by CimmerianX. Read why I get such from Ninite at http://www.howtogeek.com/201354/ninite-is-the-only-safe-place-to-get-windows-freeware/

The thing is, there are so many prior answers that you may want to read a few and find one that works for you.
Example search: https://www.google.com/search?q=How+do+you+kick+users+out+of+a+SQL+Server+2008+database

There are tools to go find what it is. Did you try the usual of turning off then on system restore? That issue has been with us for over 16 years.

Not to discourage you but there are too many launchers today. As I read http://www.androidcentral.com/best-android-launchers the one thing you need to think of is "Can I do this?"

I'm a big fan of taking on an app that at first looks just beyond the scope or scale of what I know I can do. Over the years I've learned that you get a better view and see the end after a few weeks or months into a project.

However today I'm encountering clients and folk that think that major apps can be made in "Two Weeks." Maybe if you rip off someone else's app and claim it as yours? But who does that?

Android apps can be challenging even to seasoned app writers. Have you at least completed a dozen apps before you try a launcher?

As to the design was already there, you posted code and not the design. There are some that write "read the code" but at some point when the app is big enough there needs to be a design document. Even if it's just a few pages to tell the next maintainer a mile high view of how it works without getting down to methods.

I wonder if you tried to code before you had a design. Reading from https://www.google.com/#q=design+first+then+code and posts like yours I wonder if you tried to make a design in your head and then ended up with "What do I do now?"

2 things.

1. Looks to be a duplicate of https://www.daniweb.com/programming/threads/503211/process-rank-in-mpic-code
2. It seems you have 16 questions you want answers to. If you want these values it looks like you could run the code and get the numbers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_Passing_Interface seems to lead me to more documents, archives, and how to make comments on MPI. Given the possible esoteric area you want to discuss I'd seek out a forum on MPI.

Here that tells me there's some issue with the network or PC. Did you check TPLink for firmware updates?

So what's up with line 21?

for(i = 0; i <= 5; i = i + 1) {

I'll call this the row and your for statement goese from 0 to 5 or 6 rows when your array is only 5 rows. Why the equal sign?
Also, why i = i +1 when the usual i++ is the accepted way to write that?
Finally you see line 23 that uses neither i or j but sums up the one array location and also is out of bounds for the array.

You may want to go back to the textbook about how arrays start at zero and if you declare a 5 element array the index is 0 to 4.

That's a lot of initial errors and we have yet to think about averages.

From memory Google Drive mandates you login so my quick look here says that should happen.

Here's the thing. A Java course may rely on you learning something before you dive into coding. Here's a web search on something I find new programmers and sometimes old ones forget. Ready? https://www.google.com/#q=design+first+then+code

You've said little about your design or your prior apps. Maybe this is too big a project to tackle at first. Have you designed a bigger than a page of code app before? If not, back to the design step. No code required.

I see no mention of motherboard chipset drivers. Since it's from Asus, check the site for this model. And you have this Enterprise OS so tap your IT to fix it.

@Mar.Na. I take it you don't backup your stuff by the question posed. Only you know where your backups are. This is usually what prods a new programmer to learn about backups, revision control and dogs.

That looks like a unicode null to me. https://www.google.com/#q=unicode+null for reference. If it's just that line, select the blank line and delete it.

@Reo_1, as I read https://sourceforge.net/p/sevenzip/discussion/45797/thread/0b918e30/ I get the feeling you must proceed with care about the added files to this zip file or the password and vanish. There's also a discussion where the password is cached so there's that.

@jttslg. When 2 parts that should work together don't then one of them is likely gone. In bad cases, both. Dead laptops are not easy to deal with since you need good spares to swap out the suspect part. That's not cheap and usually reserverved for use in repair depots.

At this point you go over the work again and see if you skipped something like and insulator mounting and hope.

@jttslg. So that battery. I worry now that a dead battery was left in the laptop possibly causing strain to the main board and more. I see that a lot. A lot of folk don't understand that a bad battery is a bad thing.

@fallout4player. That's news to me. The last article I read had 3 Titans to eek out about 30 frames a second on a 4K display. Has something changed?

That said, here's the link I like for the usual 1080 game PC: https://www.reddit.com/r/PCMasterRace/wiki/builds

My best first mobile app would be the web site first. That hits all the target mobile devices in one effort.

Now that the web site is working we can pick a target. For most that would be the iPhone and Android phones. After that, tablets from the 2 current majors.

There are systems where you write once and hit both but I found many companies balk at the cost of the systems or buckle under the load of the free cross platform dev systems. So the direction you head depends on your company size, and how much you will invest in the project.

While I sympathize over the loss, there's not much magic here. Laptops are notoriously fickle when they get old. Watch a few more youtube disassemble videos and carefully go over your work.

But there's a generice reset I try on dead PCs that is worth a shot. Power off, remove charger and battery, press and hold the power button for 60 seconds. Release, slip in battery, apply power and test.

This issue is over a decade old. http://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21403913/Can-VB-tell-the-correct-state-of-an-Access-database.html seems a nice summary of what happens next.

Did you or your IT be good about backups and recovery?

You'll want to tell the forum what you think is wrong but line 1 glares at me with that extra space after the # sign. Is that what you are seeing in the compiler errors?

About line 14 you see some basic coding issues. It seems you have your main() then main ends and you have code without a function(). Very bizarre.
