Hello, I am having trouble with a new PC (it came with Windows XP preinstalled and I think it is a software problem). Every once in a while, mostly after logon, the mouse stops responding. The keyboard and other programs all work fine, and the only solution I could find is rebooting the...

Wow! I never thought of that, but then again you can plainly see I am the ultimate newbie prototype. Thank you for your valuable suggestion. Have a nice day. -- People here are not only very knowledgeable, but also polite and helpful. My sincere congratulations to everyone.

This particular example is based on a bookmark collection (just something to get me started). A particular bookmark should ideally have as many categories as needed. I already have a tree-like hierarchy for categories, so that one can customise them to one's needs. Would having a separate table...

Hello, I am new to MySQL and, among the various documentation I have read, I have not come across any means of storing arrays as fields. For example, what would be a wise method of storing an array of integers as a field? The only way I could think of is storing a varchar of space-separated...

Thanks a lot. I wouldn't have thought simple assignment would work, since C is all picky about strings. And I definitely wouldn't have thought of c_str(). -- People here are not only very knowledgeable, but also polite and helpful. My sincere congratulations to everyone.

Hi, I'm doing someone a favor writing a program in Borland C++ Builder 5. Is there any way to convert between char* and AnsiString? I am using fstream to read words from a file (it's a hangman game) and I couldn't find any method that reads an AnsiString instead of a char*. If there is any other...

Hi, the application I'm currently writing implements a context menu item for all files. I've added a key in the registry at: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\My_Command_Name\command and a default value of: "c:\path\to\program.exe" "%1" Now, this works fine with one file, but if I select more, an...

Sorry my answer took so long, I have just finished banging my head against a hard, rough wall a thousand times. In other words, sorry I've misled you, it was a Nec. LG was my CD-RW drive. Sorry a million times. Thank you both for the advice and the links; I've flashed the drive and it seems to...

Hi, My LG ND 3520A won't burn some new media I got. The media are Benq (16x max) and it says something about Picfect on them (I'm assuming it's some fancy name for better data and video retention). When I put a blank DVD inside, Nero only sees it up to 2.4x and if I try to burn it, it fails...

So, I can just take out the card, ask the owner to hold on to it, and push the button back? It kept springing into place when I tried that, but I haven't been that persistent. Thank you for your advice; I will keep you posted as to how thigs go.

Perhaps a more appropriate forum would be the Damn Small Linux one? Other than that, I don't know anything about the issue.

OK, a little background first: an acquaintance recently received an HP notebook from Italy. Since I am the local computer guru (although I personally do not refer to myself as that), she came to me for advice (she's absolutely clueless). Every manual is in Italian and it's been almost impossible...

OK, right now I have: MainForm.ThreadSafeAddFile d = new MainForm.ThreadSafeAddFile(_parentForm.AddFile); foreach (string fileName in Directory.GetFiles(folderName)) { _parentForm.Invoke(d, new object[] { fileName }); } It's pretty much based on what I have seen in the Microsoft...

I have tried immitating the example off msdn. It works, but I am actually experiencing a slower response from the user interface, because the main thread keeps getting invoked to update the checkedlistbox. The Google search yielded a Code-Project article which helped me understand, so thanks for...

I am faced with the following issue: I need to add all the files in a folder (chosen by the user) to a CheckedListBox (.Net 2.0). The user has the option to recurse subdirectories, which can naturally lead to a lot of files being added, which hangs the program. To solve this I have created a...

It's a Siemens, so hopefully I won't get in trouble with that. Still, it was more than helpful to find that out. I will keep it in mind in the future.

That's nice to know... now I'll be off grumbling about cables not being included and the such ;) I'll probably go with a USB adapter. Thanks for the tip.

I just bought a mobile phone and its documentation says it can connect to the PC via IrDA. Since I'm totally unfamiliar with this type of connexion, I thought I would just ask. My motherboard's documentation (a GA-7VKML VIA KM266) says it has "1 IrDA Connector for IR", but I'm not sure where...

Idea is to create a Windows application specifically for that purpose. I've seen many before and need to do this for a quick-and-dirty project. I just don't want it that dirty ;)

I am basically aiming to securely delete a file by overwriting its contents before deleting it. It wouldn't give the user a cancel option. As it is right now, any click outside the program window while shredding hangs the box. A modal progress form is there already, but still without result...
