    Text missing from Windows programs

    I turned off themes and my style to no avail. :( edit: I'm thinking maybe one of the system fonts got corrupted or something like that, I'm wondering if I find a download for the standard system fonts and see if that helps.

    Text missing from Windows programs

    Ah right, wrong uploader. Better? edit: This sounds like my problem, however I've never used anything McAfee.

    Text missing from Windows programs

    So every once in a while, I come along a program that doesn't want to display the text on my computer. Example: I'm assuming this is probably one of those MFC issues or something like that, but I'm not sure how to fix this. Any suggestions?

    Starting a game server at home

    According to Valve, the upload bandwidth per client you'll need (approximately) is 2.85 KB/s. I'd go with 3 or 4 to be safe, so for a good 4 person server make sure your upload speed is at least 15KB/s or so upload speed. You have a cable connection though, so that shouldn't be a problem. I...

    [visual c++] Modifying/Searching through MIDI files

    Ok I'm stuck again. I'm having several problems but most of them have to do with the actual MIDI data, so I don't expect too much help with that kind of stuff here. The big problem is that on short files, the program seems to work fine - usually, but on the longer files, the program often gets...

    [visual c++] Modifying/Searching through MIDI files

    Thanks a lot Mike, that fixed it up. I haven't managed to get the MFC version you described working correctly yet, I read in the first character of the file in that manner and it wasn't the right character (hard to explain), but I'm going to fiddle with that some more before I press you to...

    [visual c++] Modifying/Searching through MIDI files

    Thanks for all that Mike, I'll have to play around with that in a bit. I did end up rewriting the portion of the code in standard c to test out some stuff though, and came across something that really, really confused me. Here's the code I came up with: char target[4]...

    [visual c++] Modifying/Searching through MIDI files

    Okay, here's how I was trying to test it out to see if I could actually get the program to find a instance, any instance of the 0x99 byte. Whenever I run it, it always comes up with nothing (-1 in the pop up message box). It's not pretty, but I can't figure out why it won't work. // open our...

    [visual c++] Modifying/Searching through MIDI files

    The problem isn't getting the file into a buffer, I can do that fine. The problem is dealing with the buffer as hexidecimal content rather than character strings.

    [visual c++] Modifying/Searching through MIDI files

    Here's the deal, I'm trying to write a function that will open up a midi file, find a note (a hex value of 0x99 will appear just before the note) and modify the note and the velocity. I think once I can come up with a feasible way of identifying those bytes in the file with hex values of 0x99...

    Watching videos screwed up with 77.72 drivers

    All the sudden it looks like the contrast and gamma are maxed out or something. Tried uninstalling the codec pack I have - didn't change anything. Disabled hardware acceleration and it's fixed. My friend who also has a 6800GT and those drivers has the same problem. Did Nvidia fuck up and release...
