cant you just use windows.h and do old school win32 gui apps? mfc even?

wait a min. My dells CPU has just a heatsink like the one shown (no fan). Its a P4HT from last year. Maybe it doesnt need one as its BTX?

my thinkpad gives me a red BIOS screen saying ACPI error if i boot it up at less than about 17 Degrees C so yeah id say its to protect it

its a joke silly lookee here: [URL]http://www.mslinux.org/[/URL]

master console apps before GUIs dont rush into it. I learnt the hard way

a book os the best dont dive staright into the GUI learn console C++ first

if its a website dont you have to use shift or else it only selects one option?

pretty nice site. im a student and most of my teachers have virtually no computer skills so maybe simple is a good thing :)

you could use the files and settings transfer wizard too i think

i have some VB.NET code that searches and removes spaces froma string if thats any use to you

Im doing the same thing for college assesment. Im doing an exam board in access using VBA

hiya and welcome to daniweb! maybe i can help you with your internet problem. could you tell me some specifics such as thetype of internet e.g dialup or dsl and whther you are connecting via cable or wifi etc....

lol only got 4 in the right place but considering ive never been to america thats OK

well easiest option would be to make your own custom frontend around an existing internet engine (you can do this in visual studo using IE, for example) or if your feeling more adventurous you could get hold of the mozilla sourcecode

i have a dell and to install the ATI Catalyst stuff i need to perform windwows update first as it requires the .NET2 Framework which is not installed by default on XP SP2 Get the newest ATI drivers off the ATI/AMD site, that might help

i burn about 4 cds a week and one drive lasts me about a year

theres always ways, like there are for XP but theese are illegal and constitute software piracy as Vista is NOT free software, the onky time it was ever "free" was during the beta testing period but that was time limited and has since expired

OMFG I got 80% and: a) Im english so the signs made no sense b) im 16 so i cant drive

speaking of that, does anyone know a (prefarably pocketpc) WEP (Not wpa) key cracker? my dad says im paranoid with changing them every few days but i wanna provbe him wrong

Were all dreamers here :) welcome to daniweb

yeah if ms did that ppl would have a fit how about if ms made thier own pc that only windows could run on and it would run on nothing else? - people would cry Antitrust but somehow apple get away with it Macs are also hard to upgrade i …

are you using workgroups or domains? Check XP is in the same workgroup if so

are you american or british? here in the UK i baught a barebones bundle off of [URL="http://www.novatech.com"]www.novatech.com[/URL] - comes with PSU, CPU, RAM, Case and motherboard all assembled. You just add your own cards, disk drives and OS

yeah if you do want vista youll need a gig of ram - xp will be happy with half that. Take a look at: toshiba dell lenovo acer hp

i believe its the fact that one can be more attacthed to devoting themselves to thier PC than thier partner - after all, pcs dont nag or complain or want you to buy expensive things (well, actually they do...)

im doing VB6 at college too. i could send you some sample code if you want (all commented)

Ok i would like to look into swapping my dads XP home pc to linux as it will not have a chance of running Vista. Im in two minds about whether to choose: SuSE 10.2 -may be slow?, crippled dvd support, bad updater? PCLinuxOS 2007 -new, maybe unstable? CentOS 4 …

you need hosting with an SQL Database and support for Serverside Scripting (probably PHP)

go project - rebuild all then check the bin directory in the solution

WTF thenss - i went out and baught the full (retail) version of vista. I have a pentium 4HT 3ghz with 1gb ram and vista when IDLE uses 60% CPU and 700mb RAM! and i personally think SLED is crap too - why is the freaking updater [U]still[/U] broken?????

I have got an excellent book. Its called "Build your own computer" and is by "Haynes" - go for the second edition or newer [URL]http://www.haynes.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=31609&langId=-1[/URL] is about 170 pages, hardback and has many full colour illustrations

in the wine config program there is a bit where you tell it what linux dirs correspond to what virtual windows dirs

on amds website they only have vista drivers for 9600-9800

media player broke my dads sound by installing new codecs i went into device manager and deleted all audio devices then re booted and ran the add new hardware wizard then it worked

by the way, ALT gets back all the old file, edit, tools toolbars

2005? i swear it was more than that...... cos when i joined we had the old style forum with the pinkish colour scheme

7 beta? thats old.. get live messenger

Assembly is very fast. common uses are bootloaders, compilers, embedded systems

what worked for me was to delete all my audio devices from device manager then reboot and run the add new hardware wizard

stick in the vista full edition cd then just delete any existing partition and then make and format a new one

apple has 4% of the uk computer market linux has 30% windows the rest so if apple is so good, how come people dont buy them?

i dont think it would make a huge amount of difference. the main problem is with cordless phones

you can print and clear the screen in NET its just a bit hidden

go into power under the bios settings and poke around if the screen is dim you may be able to turn it up by holding down the FN key and the brightness up key (on my r30 its Home) also take a peek at windows power management

because its silly not to have passwords

I recieved this funny email: [B][B]Economics explained in cows[/B][/B] [B][B][/B][/B] SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows and you give one to your neighbour. COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and gives you some milk FASCISM: You have 2 cows; the Government takes both and sells you some milk …

i got 8pcs in my house sharing a 2mb cable brodaband connection They connect to a linksys wireless g router and i get a fair rate of transfer so yes, i think 4-6 meg would do fine for 20pcs

i got it. worst system ever made. wait for SP1

i found that drives wear out. First they stop doing dvds, then rws, then rs

Im kinda the person in the community who you give your old pcs to and here we had a massive rush to get vista which led people to give me quite a lot of "obsolete" P4 512mb Machines - xp is still good for two years at least and people …
