Yup. Looks to be as real as a three dollar bill to me.

I used to specifically avoid DaniWeb at work because of such ads. Firefox/AdBlock helps, but it's hardly the best default, IMO. All that "trying to be more professional" and all killed the first half of my usual viewing -- from the POV of the "professional". [edit]The second half was killed …

Try reinstalling and follow the instructions. Or try installing a more modern compiler instead. Great free ones are available.

If you've merely obtained headers, you're not going to be able to do much. If you're asking how to configure your system to work with specific APIs you have, there should be documentation available from the place that provided you the APIs. So what is your question?

I suppose results will vary according to the order in which the states are presented for placement.
