It'd be pretty tough to chase down who's using it. You could try uninstalling it and restarting the machine to let it reinstall.

The backstory: We had a "power issue" here a few days ago and now our Samsung SyncMaster 931b is not working. The blue power light around the button flashes and every second or so the display will flicker with light and you can briefly (for 200ms or so, I'd guess) …

Good tips. CL used to be great for getting some internet props but they switched from using do-follow to no-follow links. Before they were so big that with some good anchor text, links and relevant ad text you could get some nice PR from them. I'm having good luck with …

Directory submission is king for getting your website higher in the SERPs (search engine results page).

In tools|folder options there is an option to open files with one click vs with double click. You can check that setting; a buffer may have gotten overrun and changed the setting or you could have done it inadvertently. What drivers are you you using? have you made any driver …

I am using MCI controls to play media files within some software. For the most part, it works OK but sometimes things go poorly (e.g. when the media file is corrupt). How can I either put the code into a try/catch (i.e. what exception do I look for?) or how …

Is there something wrong with just opening and reading it like any other (text) file? There's nothing magical about WAV files, it's just a header with information about the bit rate, file size, number of samples, etc. followed by the values along the waveform for the audio output, all encoded …

Does it automagically fix itself when you update the TOC? Sometimes mine does that. Also, if you're in IT/CS/similar field and writing a technical/engineering/etc. thesis, have you considered LaTeX rather than MS word?

Just use Windows Virtual PC and you won't have to mess with partitioning, MBR issues, dual boots, GRUB, etc. The other OS will boot within the VPC container and it will look like just another application on your PC. IIRC, some versions of 7 don't come with Windows Virtual PC …

It's a fair book. I've always liked Savitch's books quite a bit. What do you want it for, just to teach yourself C++? For a class? If you just want it for your own enlightenment and you're not required to get any particular book, your best bet is likely to …

That's an interesting way of doing it, I suppose. You'll want to parse through your [ICODE]encr [/ICODE]string, stopping at each period, and build a string from the numbers you find. Then use something like [icode]atoi[/icode] to change it into an integer. Then you need to subtract the value you added …

Are the parts all new, or is this particular configuration/build just new? Are all the parts known good? Tested in another machine? What about the PSU? Output? Are the jumpers on the drives in some goofy position (masters/slave/cable select) that they shouldn't be in for the way you have it …

"Maze game" is pretty vague. Is it a go (North, South, East, West - choose one) type of maze game, is it a FPS type maze that one wanders around freely in, is it a birds-eye view of a maze that you have to work though, etc.

I'm using the function CInternetSession::OpenURL in a "try" to open a webpage (a servelet which returns XML). The servelet take a little while to respond sometimes (around 13-15 seconds in a web browser). When it's slow like this, the code catches a CInternetException. Is there a way to see what …

[B][U]Short version:[/U][/B] Windows 7 appears to be losing changes made to text files if the PC loses power, even if the changes have been saved. Why would it be doing this and how can I make the changes stick? I need the changes to be persistent even if there is …

I can make a program fire up at start up by dragging it to the start-menu->programs->startup-folder. This program needs one of the windows services to be able to function correctly. Occasionally, at boot, this program experiences a problem that is somewhat specific to that required service (which is set to …

This is what "they" are saying online: [quote] Socket AM3 versions of the Phenom II are backwards-compatible with Socket AM2+, though this is contingent on motherboard manufacturers supplying BIOS updates. In addition to the Phenom II's pin compatibility, the AM3 memory controller supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory (up to …

Is it new, under warranty? If so, have the manufacturer/vendor fix it. If not, and you're handy, you could try taking it apart to see if you can find the problem. There could be a bad solder joint in the power on/off switch or on some sort of filter or …

I seem to recall the error being more clear and specific when this is the case, but could it be that the other PC needs the visual c++ redistributable package installed on it? Did you build it as a shared DLL or using a static library?

Assuming that [I]count [/I]ranges from 1 through 5, for each iteration of your for loop, you have to print something (be it stars, numbers, etc.) out [I]count[/I]-times. You'll probably need another for loop that goes from 1 through [I]count[/I] in which you do the printing and add a newline after …

One of our PCs is not printing footers with field codes; it is printing the field codes rather than the field results. For instance, one of the items in the footer is using the "Page X of Y" deal. It shows up correctly in the document itself as "Page 1 …

Why not compile and run it to see the output yourself? Why not also modify the code to output the value of the variable "a" to see what is returned by the message() function, or debug to see what is there during runtime? If you can't figure it out in …

Your first step should be to determine what possible states you can have. What is your initial state? Then define each state along the path. From the current state, what happens if good input is encountered; what state will it move to? Do the same for if bad input is …
