Re: problem with zuEuz server

This sounds as if the firewall port work is not done.

Remember that the following is only for testing to see if it's your firewall settings (or port forwarding.) Place this server's LAN IP into the routers DMZ entry then test again. Remove from the DMZ after the test and report back here.

Re: Running VirtualBox

I hope you can supply images of the BIOS sub menus so I or others can see if the setting is there. I know a lot of folk that want "exact" matches on text so you're not unique here. All it means is we'll have to see whats' in the sub-menus.

I'll use the model as "T500 2241" but there is no document found by me that shows the BIOS menu contents. It's time for you to look in the submenus and if they are foreign to you, share images so we can point out which setting.

If there is no virtual or other VT-x setting then it's time to look for a BIOS update. It's not possible for me to give you a direct link or a step by step. My rule on BIOS updates is simple. I never write how. I only write to follow the maker's instruction since my instruction will become dates over time and I don't want to have to find all the times I wrote about this and correct them. So where is that BIOS? Read STEALTHTH's reply at

Re: Gateway P-6822 - Finding Correct Bios Upgrade

I'm sharing from my experience. The reason to upgrade from Vista or W7 is to get that free W10 license. Once that is done, and this is not only me sharing this, you can clean install 32 or 64 bit W10 as the license is for W10 and not about the 32/64 bit question.

As to 2GB we install the 64 bit version and it is no slower than the 32 bit OS. This has been tested so many times. There's no reason for a 32 bit OS on this PC so far.

I could write more but my advice is:

Get out the canned air and give the vents and heatsinks a good cleaning.
If there is any sign of CPU overheating, replace the CPU heatsink compound. It's old enough that it has dried and cracked.
Clean install W10 64 bit and test.

Re: Gateway P-6822 - Finding Correct Bios Upgrade

This looks to be some Core2Duo laptop and I have CLEAN INSTALLED W10 on such before. But this is old enough to have issues with cooling which is what I find to be the main cause of a BSOD after memory and then other issues.

Your question is best put to an Acer forum which you did but in this class of PCs I have never found the BIOS update to help as the machine usually had BSODs when it came in so it's not a W10 issue at all (or BIOS.)

-> I see you UPGRADED from Vista to 10 so after you have your W10 activated you can clean install W10 64 Bit to bring it current and avoid months of troubleshooting why it BSODs if it is a software issue.

You left out what happens with your code as is. If the file did not play I add a print statement just before the play statement so I can check out if I got the filename correct. If the filename is good then I print if the file exists to further debug.

Re: Print to video database

It looks like your code needs a rewrite as to lines 28 to 32 (tr and td versus th). (Not an offer to rewrite your code.)

The tutorial about table, tr, th and td is at https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_table.asp

So after line 27 you would use tr and then your td (data) and then close the tr (/tr) after line 32.

Hints:

th = table header.
tr = table row.
td = table data.

TL;DR: The table has no data rows.

Re: VB6: how we get an array size?

As to VB6: how we get more speed on Graphics? my answer has two answers.

Move to another dev system.
Consider that graphics speed is not always possible if the host PC does not have dedicated graphics.

Furthermore VB6 is a legacy system. This is no expectation it will leverage what a modern PC has. Yet you will encounter crusty demanding older developers that will insist it "should have" or "should use" the GPU and more. Best to nod and let them be.

Your other post is actually more on point about speed but I neglected to write about testing if that's the speed bottleneck (the loops and the U and L bound calls.) I don't do this work for others but at work I had to profile our app to determine where the bottlenecks were so we knew where to look for the optimizing.

How do you know the U and L bound calls are the speed hits here and not the more usual areas? Did you profile and measure the times spent on each operation?

PS. If the discussion title is changed I must remove some of my answers as they would no longer apply. My vote is to leave the title as-is. My suggestion is that you work on your other post where the code was revealed as well as discuss and reveal what the host PC looks like.

Re: QB45 Error: Overflow > 32767 how to fix?

By redesigning your app to stay inside the limits. It's programming knowledge that you can't change a single signed 16 bit integer to be greater than 32767 but you could use two 16 bit signed integers to extend the mythical apps range. Same here. You break up your database so data into more files which don't exceed the limits yet let's you continue with QB45.

Or you move to another language/dev-system.

Why isn't a look at QB64 worth your time?

That clears up why/what you are asking along with me reading https://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?889830-VB6-how-can-i-speed-up-my-draw-pixel-function-DIB-s

As UBound() I only see it called one time at line 49 so it's one call and unless we measure I'll write that's to be left as-is.
But in the For loop from line 49 to about 90? we see UBound() inside the loop and IF (I take your word it's big overhead here) that is so, I would use:
xboundvariable = UBound(DrawPixelPoints) - 1 just before line 49 so line 59 could be:
For x = 0 To xboundvariable

Remember I did not read this code multiple times. Some fault me here but it's Christmas Eve, our dog passed a day ago and other things are going on. Some say I shouldn't try under such conditions but try I will.

To wit, a very optimizing compiler might do such optimizing for us but hey, it's VB6 and not GCC.

With that out of the way, I think I see every pixel being handled so that's a lot of time in loops and more. I can't quite reverse engineer what this code is doing so I can't connect it to some possible API call that would (usually) best your own code. Let me elaborate with a bad example.

Re: VB6: how we get an array size?

Let me comment it's been over a decade since I tried a DirectX library for Visual Basic 6 BUT it did help. I bought said library, book and CD at some technical book store sometime in the years 2000 to 2005. I can't recall what it's title was but it did tap what juice DirectX could offer and was 10 to 100 times faster than raw VB6.

Other thoughts.

DirectX tutorials are out there such as https://gamedev.net/forums/topic/430026-directx-with-visual-basic-6/430026/
If a code area is slow, I used my thoughts about how things work. That is, if I need the array size then I precompute that outside the heavy loops.
If sin() and cos() are used I would precompute a lookup table. However I don't do that on PCs anymore since most PCs are GHz and more so the speed payoff isn't as much as it used to be. Story time: This was back in the 1990's and folk were impressed with this trick's performance boost which was on the order of 100 times.
If you are doing graphic work, demand a dedicated graphics card. No matter which Intel/AMD with onboard graphics, all were many times slower than dedicated graphics.

Re: resources file not found?

I don't see your followup question here. What I got via email was:

what does the compiler do with images, files and sound fragments. Do they come in a separate file and are installed on the client pc?

There are many tutorials on this so I'll note http://www.csharp411.com/embedded-image-resources/ which is one place the resource could be. There's code to test if it's in that area. I'll also note in passing tools that let us explore the usual EXE and DLL files.
https://www.mitec.cz/exe.html
http://www.pe-explorer.com/

I'm sticking with my short answer here that such is "compiled into" the app's EXE and DLL files. That said a commercial app I did long ago externalized the resources so the company could change the logo bitmap without having to edit the EXE or DLL or contracting me to issue a new version of the app. Again, this goes beyond my short answer so I pause here.
