Agree with the above, just thought I'd add since no one else has mentioned that iostream.h is deprecated and you should ideally use <iostream> without the .h extension.

[QUOTE=SoulMazer;1288127]Wow, when I use that code you gave me, I get a whopping 104 errors! New record, baby. Well I guess I should post my real code, since I do quite a bit while iterating. As for the errors....I'll just put in a few. It looks like some of the …

The power supply is definately big enough, however if it is malfunctioning & not putting enough power into the components then it can cause system lockups or BSODs. There could be the theory that it isn't putting enough through the rails but with those components I'd say it more than …

Well as I imagine you've figured Windows API or MFC are both Windows only, this is fine if that is the only platform you're wanting to code for but what happens if you ever want or need to change platform? You'll find yourself wanting to learn another set of libraries …

The error you're getting is the error code for an inaccessible boot device, where exactly do you get the error? Can you boot up in safe mode for example? As atleast with safemode AVG won't be starting up, only necessary system drivers are loaded for safemode, no programs. If not …

I think Borland C++ Builder Personal Version has always had some compatibility issues with Vista, but as I don't use it I don't know for sure, so don't quote me on it. For integrity I will assume you've ran as Administrator? Is there a reason why you're not giving Code::Blocks …

Well without giving you the code directly, since it's usually far easier to learn by doing it yourself. iInfo doesn't have a member called WriteToFile(), "Success" isn't an iInfo object, which is what the function expects as a parameter & then OutFile, well the iInfo.c_str() isn't a string to a …

CMOS battery affects time & date, along with customized BIOS settings. If your notebook isn't powering on at all, the problem is likely elsewhere. (Computers default to their earliest date & default bios without CMOS battery but they still turn on)

Resetting BIOS wouldn't likely do more harm than good but it could be annoying, on that note it sounds like you may have found your problem there, it sounds like it is obviously a problem near the 1st stages, like the motherboard failing POST & refusing to start the OS. …

It's not that getline isn't working, it's that you're using cin & then using getline, what is happening is the \n delimiter used in cin, for example when you put that you're feeling good, you press enter, at that point \n is in the buffer. When you use getline after …

Try updating your bios firmware, there should be instructions & a download at the site of your Mobo manufacturers site. Sometimes bios firmware updates fix bugs or similar although usually they upgrade to accomodate new hardware it is worth a try. Also just to note, although it can be pretty …

Probably Shadow Copies & Restore points, Vista creates them often & they often take up chunks of space once plenty of them are created, so my 1st thought would be to perhaps check that. Use Disk cleanup. I'm sure you probs know where & what but just for if not, …

[QUOTE=dotti;881285] Depends on your specs (computer specifications). If you have a fast computer with at least 2 GB RAM it will be not much slower than XP. If you're below this specs, VISTA will appear to be much slower. I would buy Vista with integrated SP2 in your place. Don't …

I take it you have tried using GetLastError() function & seeing what that is? (what is the value of GetLastError() for you?) Because the return value of CreateFile() is INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE only if the function fails. As a 2nd "guess" are you using the CreateFile() on a file that is deemed …

Use memset... memset(fileName, 0, MAX_PATH); Rewrites the elements to 0.

Although a little late to the party, NOD32 is 1 of the best AV, it's light, with a good detection rate, coupled alongside Outpost Pro (Firewall) it makes for pretty good detection. Kaspersky Internet Security (AV/Firewall package) is also another good candidate as far as security goes anyways.

You've got your code written in "hello.cpp" but it's not part of the project you have open, chances are it's building "program.cpp" & hence the output you're getting. Put that code into "program.cpp" then try rebuilding & running it.

You can check the 1st letter of a string like an array, that is string test = "family"; so test[0] would be 'f', test[1] would be a, & so on, so generally just test the 1st letter of a string that way for if it is an f or F.
