    Image Viewer Control Options

    Hello All, I've recently been working on a simple image viewer that will allow viewing of several file types (BMP,JPG,TIF, for starters). I'm using the IMGEDIT.OCX control in VB6. The problem I've run into is that this control won't recognize some files, particularly JPG files pulled directly...

    Wierd ComboBox behaviour... bug?

    How 'bout posting a SendKey, like {"Tab"} to force the focus to shift to the next tab indexed item? You could put this either where you accept the combo box input or in a key event. Just a thought... An example I used [not with a combo, though :-( ] 'data input check - only allows...

    Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press Enter

    I wish I had seen this post sooner... Most hard drive mfgs. Have utilities posted on their sites to diagnose drive problems like the ones that have been noted here. Many also have an automated RMA system that will allow you to return a drive that is still under warranty. I had a recent...

    PC Hardware Query Utility

    Hi all, Looking for a DOS based utility for reporting system hardware. I've already tried PCI.EXE [freeware], but it does not detect things like drives. I'm specifically looking to detect Iomega JAZ drives, CD-ROM drives, etc. along with SCSI adapters [which PCI.EXE did handle well]. Will need...

    Survey--- best Pocket PC-- ... or Palm

    Hey Blake, I think Jayko hit this one right on the head. It's all about intended usage. I won an iPaq [3600] about a year ago. Being not all that familiar with hand-helds, I didn't realize at the time what a great product I'd been handed! I use Outlook everywhere [work, home, on the road] and...

    Problems with HD

    I would start by checking the Quantum web site [think they are actually owned by one of the other major drive mfgs. now]. Most drives supply 3rd party software to help with the installation process which may include a drive manager to help your system to recognize the new hardware. Good luck!

    Motherboard Longevity

    I'm a software engineer who also handles a number of PC hardware issues for our customers. We've supplied a number of units over time that were 486 based PCs. We are now trying to estimate how many of these older units may require replacement in the near future due to failure. Is there any...
