right now im writing a DLL. one of the functions i want it to have is downloading a file from the internet from any specified url. i know this is very possible with the internet transfer control, but I dont know how i could implement one into my DLL while still capturing the events. so, im...

my dad just gave me 2 Dual-PIII servers. he had his SCSI drives in there but he wanted me to take them out. I had no problem with this, because im just putting together a file server for myself with 2 shitty little 40gb IDE hard drives i have laying around. so I open it up and it only has 1...

Well, as I said, I already swapped out my proc for the 2400+ my friend has. We have tried booting with each stick of ram, without hard drives installed, and with a different video card, but to no avail. This friend i am talking about happens to work at a computer store, and he said that...

Yes, I have tried all of the above. but even if i didnt, why would switching out the processor allow the comp to work only once? How does the bios know that it is a different processor if I have reset it and taken out the battery?

I have just gotten I new computer (athon xp mobile 2200, aiw radeon9800 pro, 1gb corsair value select ram). I installed everything correctly, and it has been running fine for 2 or 3 days. But yesterday while playing farcry, my screen would randomly go black, so I rebooted. Now it chokes...

well i will repeat once more that i just want to strip the folder of these useless securities. it will make my life difficult if i have to move the entire folder.

no--new comp is amd based, old comp is intel. quick specs, omitting irrelevance: new: amd athlon 2200+ mobile (soon to be overclocked) 1gb corsair ram asus A7N8X-E deluxe mobo 120gb western digital sata hard drive old: celeron 533 384mb ram intel 82810 chipset 120gb seagate...

makes sense. but i dont have a win2k boot disk, and last time i checked, the recovery console was a half-assed version of dos. i assume there is no xcopy32, so how would i go about doing this?

i thought of putting it as secondary master, and now the new rig boots (new rig's primary HDD is SATA, old HDD is IDE). it does boot without it. but i still cant access it even after setting permission to the root. i want to avoid moving all my files to a new folder. it is simply too...

bah, now i cannot get my computer to boot with the old hard drive in! i think it is trying to boot off of it. i took it out of the boot order in the bios, yet i still boot from it.

...way to leave me hanging well i am on my 'old rig' now. it is slow as shit though. is there any way just to unrestrict access? i have about 60 gigs in this folder to move

Alright, I have just recently gotten a new computer. I decided to take the hard drive out of my old comp and stick it in my new comp so I dont have to burn DVDs upon DVDs of my random shit. But when I go to access my old documents folder, I get an Access is Denied message. Tooltips say the...

I just got an AIW Radeon 9800 pro. On the card, it appears to have a berg connector, but it ships with a berg-molex converter. The converter does not appear to have any resistors on it. Would it be ok to just plug a berg connector from my PSU into the card or should i play it safe and use the...

I am an experienced Visual Basic 6 programmer, and have been working with VB since version 3.0. But I've heard the new version, VB.Net, has so many changes that it doesnt seem like the same language anymore. Would someone experienced with vb.net and vb6 point out major coding differences, as...

Can somebody point me to a freeimage wrapper for visual basic 6? The one that is on sourceforge has errors, specifically random *s in the declare statements. I dont know freeimage at all, so if someone could help i would greatly appreciate it.
