    VB6 Double Buffering Images and shapes

    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.

    new XPpro install, empty desktop

    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...

    Collision Detection Question

    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.

    Windows Explorer Crashes repeatedly ...

    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...

    Windows Explorer Crashes repeatedly ...

    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...

    Windows Explorer Crashes repeatedly ...

    Yes, it is an AMD, but it was crashing for a few weeks before I installed SP2 ... I will look for your setting anyway - thanks!

    Windows Explorer Crashes repeatedly ...

    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...

    Removing beginning characters in a string

    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...

    LED like buttons

    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 ...

    Moving program without original install files

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

    another BSoD problem ...

    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 ...

    USB memory stick

    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 !

    another BSoD problem ...

    Thanks finney ! I have been going back and forth between a windows issue and possibility of ram problems, so your tips hit right on the head as far as I was concerned .. anyway, cannot run any of the scanners from safe mode without crashing ... SFC ran a long time and closed itself, so I guess...

    another BSoD problem ...

    About a month ago, I picked up some spyware, several different kinds, some of my antispyware apps find them and delete them - they always pop right back in ... found - running- (spyware.generic) spysweeper5 (Trojan.Delf.nj) adaware (and...

    Printing upside down using PrintForm!!!

    it seems that particular example flips the screen, but any mouse click or keyboard input immediately flips it right back - so not very likely it will help you. I know there are other examples that will remain in that state for program execution. I THINK if you have an INTEL EXTREME GRAPHICS...

    Printing upside down using PrintForm!!!

    So, no real answers yet .. time for wacky work-arounds ... there are a bunch of gag programs that flip your display upside down (http://www.funs.co.uk/ under 'funny downloads' ) if you run one of these, so your display is upside down, then print form - will that work ??

    Form does not have focus

    API Explanation: SetCursorPos sets the position of the mouse cursor. If you try to set the coordinates outside of the range of the display (for example, to (700,40) on a 640x480 display) or outside the confining rectangle (set by ClipCursor), the cursor will just go to the edge of the screen or...
