I am basically trying to write a program that will find a file when I start the program. My program will work something like this: I have 4 files that my program will try to search out on it's own. I already know the names of the files and all I need is the path in which these files are...

Edit: I'm being stupid... sorry folks, everything is okay for now :)

I was playing a video game and my computer suddenly freezes. So I hard reboot and nothing shows up. Just a no video signal detected sign on my monitor. I tested the video card in another computer and it works fine. I tried running with just the CPU, RAM and Vid card and still nothing. I...

It's been a couple semesters since I took my programming languages and grammar course. For the life of me, I can't seem to locate my textbook from that course which is probably in a box somewhere in my study room (moving stinks). When a language has parameters that can be in, out or in_out...

I'm trying to create a program that basically loads up a file and displays the file name in a listbox. If I select a file and select edit, I'm hoping I can open up a new form with a textbox to edit said file. I know it would be easier to put the textbox on one form, but it's for my own...

My friend's motherboard recently went south for unexplained reasons. Everything else seems to work, so I suggest getting the DFI LanParty motherboard after reading a couple threads on the boards. He also wants to keep his GeForce 3 for now since he doesn't play anything that intensive...

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that I want to hook up to my Samsung 50" DLP TV. For the video, I use a VGA cable and it works fine. But for audio I'm having a bit of a problem. I purchased a RadioShack Y-adapter (1/8" stereo to Red/White RCA adapter). I use the headphone out jack on my...

We have finally settled on getting a Samsung 50" DLP HDTV and I have a quick question. I went to BB, CC and other stores to just look around and noticed that some of the tags said DLP monitor and others said DLP TV w/built in tuner. What the heck does that mean? Does that mean that I can...

I'm not sure where I should put this topic, but this seemed to be the most appropriate place for it. I basically want to spend about 2000 dollars on an HDTV that I can use to not only watch TV and DVD's but to also hook up my computer or XBOX to when I want to play video games. I don't know...

My friend is using onboard sound on the A8V Deluxe motherboard with a pair of speakers that originally came with is HP 800mhz computer before he upgraded. I don't quite know speaker lingo so I will describe them as best as I can. They do not have to be powered through an outlet or anything...

I have owned and babied this set of speakers for about 5 years. I guess it's finally showing some wear or something.. or maybe it's possessed but here are the symptoms: 1. Will not respond to buttons on the speaker or the volume control on the speaker 2. The lights that indicate volume...

I have a Liteon DVD/CDR-W combo drive (LTC-48161H) and it recently started causing some problems. It was working fine and all of a sudden it stopped reading a couple cd's today. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to it at all. Some of my burnt data cd's are coming up either as blanks...

After visiting this section of the forum, I'm a bit stumped and confused. I understand that 24pin is the newest and 20pin is the older PSU connectors. I checked the motherboard I'm buying and it is a 20pin mobo and I decided to go for the Antec 430W "True" PS but I have no idea where I can...

Okay.. I'm building a new computer within the week, ordering from newegg in the next day or two. My friend originally wanted a P4 chip but I convinced him along with the help of a bunch of [H]ard forum members to go with a 64 bit AMD solution. This is the system that I have decided to...

I need to learn Prolog and Scheme and was wondering if anybody with knowledge on these languages can recommend me a good solid reference book. Any good websites with syntax and tutorials on the languages would be appreciated as well. But I prefer having a good reference book over any sort of...

Let me start off by saying that I am pretty new to C but I have experience with JAVA. I have tried looking all over Google, GNU C library and other tutorials on-line. This is what I am trying to do: I am trying to read a file using fgets and taking each line and putting into an "array of...

I am capturing TV shows on a Leadtek TV2000 XP TV Tuner card using WinFast PVR software. When I record a certain channel, I get a some static or hissing noise when words with S or T are said. So if someone says, "Skate" on TV, when I go back to replay the captured video, I can audibly hear...

I am not sure which I should buy... MvC2 or GGX2? I really don't know too much about either game except the fact that I heard they were good. I'm not the biggest 2d fighting fan, I mostly stick to PC games or 3d fighting games like the Tekken, Soul Calibur or VF series. I heard good things...
