Greetings, I find myself constantly switching back and forth between my XP partitons. I use one for testing and experimenting, and I use the other as my main workspace. Problem is, It takes forever to shut down and reboot into the new partition. Is there any way that you can simutaneously...

Greetings, Make sure that you turn off the firewall which is automatically enabled sometimes. Just go to your network connection, click advanced, and make sure it's off. That dumb barely mentioned issue kept me busy for a quite a few hours... Hope this helps. Steve

Hmm... OK, here is my setup. From wall to DSL to Router to two PC's. I guess you could call that a network, but the only thing I do is transfer files back and forth, and print to the printer. Both PC's access the Internet no problem. Here is the message that I get if I try to host a game...

Hey guys, You were absoloutely correct. I have the DSL connected to a lynksys router/hub and the hub is feeding the pc's, and I was trying to host an internet game and it wouldn't allow me to because of proxy server. If I use the DMZ function to connect one pc directly to the internet, how...

Hi, All I want to do is connect two pc's to the network server, and the only function of the server is to connect to the internet and share the internet with the other pc's. Right now, I have both pc's connected to the hub and then DSL. It works fine, but I would like to have only 1 pc...

xlhelp, Yes, thank you, you have put me back on track. I tried that before and assumed that it wasn't working. The reason that I thought that it wasn't working is that: If I have a three digit number for example 123 in a cell. I am able to use that cell both in a math function and in a text...

Help... How do I perfrom a simple operations such as converting a numeric value into string? For example, convert the number 1234 into "1234"? Can I copy a column of numbers and paste it to a new column as text? Text in the same format as the number column? For example, number is...

Griff, First, why are you running XP? Second, I have the exact same problem. Read the thread from Sept 15 on. It's working a little bit better for me now. I love Qbasic, Steve

Hmmm, Just when I thought it was over, I tried dilettante's suggestion of using "C:\WINDOWS\system32\command.com /c qbasic.exe" and it seems to work better. Still some lag, but I can run media player while qb is open. Also, if you do it that way, you get "microsoft windows...

Hmmmm, Well, I have a P4 2.2GHZ, 512MB of ram, so that's not a problem. Also, I just want to make sure that we are talking about the same loop. We're talking about the "loop" of the OS waiting for keyboard input, NOT A LOOP IN BASIC, as in the Do Loop above right? Do you think that...

Yes.... Ahhhh, the good old days of QB. I have QB4.5, and I still use it today to whip up quick programs. I remember buying that program, and it came with like 2 200 page manuals. Now, all you get is a pamplet. Enough rambling... I too have been experimenting with running QB on XP and have...

Hmmmmmmm, I just copied the fm20 file, because it said it was missing. I have no idea what it even is. Question: Could the problem be that I have installed VB into a different directory, and I also moved the folder containing the programs and such from their original location? Thanks, Steve

Hi, It's been awhile since I've used VB5 and I tried running one of my old programs. When I try to load it says "Errors during load" In the error log file it's says "...Property ... has an invalid file reference" For example Line 161: Property ItemData in cmbRunMode has...

Hi, I'm sure this question has been answered before, but I would really be grateful for help. I have just installed a second HD. I have XP on the first drive, and have not yet added an operating system to the second drive, but it is formatted. Second drive is visable from the first drive...
