I have a Gigabyte K8VT800 motherboard that has worked fine for a couple years. Just recently it shut off while I was using it and when I powered it back on it turned off again in about 10 seconds and smoke came out of the power supply. I got another power supply and plugged it all in, but the...

So there must be a main controller that is aware of all the unique instances of every class and manages the interactions among them?

How do class objects access each other's functions and members in c++? I have all the classes I need, but I'm still wondering what the "standard" way of having them communicate and interact is.

Thanks, I have successfully resolved the problem.

I have a problem with my pagefiles. My computer is constantly complaining of low disk space on drive C, but every time I free space it fills it up with an ever-growing pagefile. I have 2 gigabytes of RAM memory and only a third is used. I tried setting the pagefile to my other hard drive and...

You may have to prepare your hard drive first (partition and format), and also try to run that file from the CD. Boot up with your floppy to A:\ prompt with CDROM support. If you have one hard drive connected, the path of the cd would be E:\. And the full path I'm guessing is E:\i386\winnt.exe...

This article may be of some use - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=240251 Especially the part: "As an alternative to the above, you can change to the i386 folder on the Windows 2000 CD, and then type: winnt.exe "

You have to have a windows 98 bootable floppy disk (or something similar) in the floppy drive while your computer starts up. Also, the BIOS has to be configured to search for a floppy on bootup (press the delete key a bunch of times right after you turn on the computer to get into BIOS).

You may have a spyware/virus infection. If you haven't tried this already, you could download HiJackThis http://www.download.com/HijackThis/3000-8022_4-10379544.html Try deleting anything you think is suspicious, or you could post the logfile here for review.

If you have a bootable setup disk for windows 2000, you could try removing the first hard drive and setting the second one to master so the installer won't be able to detect windows XP.

You're right, simplicity is probably best. I'll just stay with what I have. If it comes down to it I can probably just split the screen into large blocks and check only the objects in the block where the mouse clicked. Anyway, thanks for your helpful advice.

Hello, I have a question on click testing objects on the screen. The way I have been doing it is to have an entry in a RECT array for every object, then on WM_LBUTTONDOWN I use a loop of PtInRect to see if the user clicked on an object. I was just wondering if there is a more clever way of doing...

My question is one concerning memory allocation in C++ Say you declared a variable - int p = 5; The compiler allocates bytes in memory for data type integer; but does it automatically free that memory after the program is done, or do you have to use the new and delete operators for every...

For an unknown reason, I cannot sign into my email or any other site that requires a login, but I can still surf the web fine. When I try to sign in on IE, it says this page cannot be displayed. On Mozilla Firefox, it says that the "connection was refused". I have checked my internet settings...

I have a dialog box in Visual C++ 6 that I need to have a certain font on. So I go to the dialog editor, create a static text box on my dialog, and set the TrueType font I want to use in the dialog properties. Everything looks okay in the editor, but when I build and run the program it just...

I tried to delete them, but it gives the message: "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk." I also ran Trend Micro online virus scan a week ago, but I'll try it again.

I was listening to music in Media Player when my computer completely froze and would only respond to the reset switch. Well when I reset my computer, I took a look in the folder I was playing the music from - "Downloads", and there were some files and folders with strange names and random sizes...

Thanks for your help everyone, but I finally got it fixed. For some bizzare reason, after I had formated there was still a "windows" folder on the drive and it wanted to install there. So I told it to install to a different folder and it all worked fine. Maybe my hard drive has some bad sectors...

Hey guys, thanks for your replies. I have repartitioned my hard drive using NTFS and FAT, booted up from CD and set it up from there, and tried the solution in the Microsoft article on error messages that appear when upgrading from Windows 98 to Windows XP (Even though I'm doing a new...

I was trying to install a brand new copy of Windows XP on my computer that used to have windows 98 on it. When I first popped the CD in, the only option it gave me was to have a new installation (no upgrade). So I did that but it always eventually wound up at a screen with a blinking caret but...
