Are you just moving an image or picture box around ? If so, look for a tutorial on BITBLT - bit mapped block transfering - that will make a large improvement - the double buffering will be an improvemnt, but requires bitblt-ing as a base.

thanks - I knew it was in there somewhere ...

This sounds similar to a thread slight earlier, but pretty sure it is different enough to post separately ... I just re-installed fresh winXP pro, with service pack 2 to a newly formatted drive ... the only icon on the desktop is the recycle bin. I have tried group policeis and all through...

Use the IntersectRect API call ... you can define a rectangle of any size, allowing you to have a much smaller target area, as accurate as a pixel.

Around about the time it started, I was having serious space issues on my boot drive - since then i have addded about 6gig to the OS/boot partition. I had added some software for an mp3 player, which I have removed recently, I have also added HP printer software, which I just upgraded to the...

Thanks for all the tips ... I have tried so far .. no errors on chkdsk /scannow .. it went through "ok" - about every two minutes, it asked for me to insert the XP disc again ... I believe anything generated by it shows up in the event viewer? In the event viewer I have 35 errors just for...

For about a month, windows explorer will sporadically just stop responding. A 'task manager - end program' always fixes it, and I can continue. I have not been able to find any correlation between other applications running. I just installed SP2 hoping to fix this error, but it did not...

Shouldn't be too bad .. read in the whole line use 'len' to find the length of the entire line use 'instr' to find the position of the space subtract the position of the space from the total use 'right' to read the rest of the line after the space IF .. there are multiple spaces in the first...

Speaking as someone has been red/green colorblind for a great many years - stay away from this !! I can think of not many things more annoying then seeing a lit LED, and wondering what is wrong, never knowing that there were didfferent colors on it ...

It seems there are also some third party apps that specialize in doing this .. I think even Norton has a 'migrate application' utility ...

sorry, kinda forgot to check back here for awhile ... No - ram configuration had not changed before, during, or after any of these problems and checks ... thanks for the tip on the other tester ...

Of course, the next time I ran memtest, it made it through 8 full passes with out a single error ...

I am pretty sure, but no expert or experience. If your BIOS supports 'boot from USB', I don't see why you can't use 'bart's preinstalled environment to make a bootable image on the stick with your apps.

sorry linney - misread your name !
