Hi, I'm still in the Windows 98SE stone age so I'm not sure on this one. It sounds like your driver got screwed by the program. Perhaps it was trying to talk to the sound card direct rather than using the windows driver. It may have tried to communicate with your onboard sound chip instead of...

Hi, Why thank you nonguru I'm pleased you think so. Also on another point, as this is a VB5 & 6 forum I wrote it for VB 5. Reason being it should work in both. The Replace & StrReverse commands kick out errors in my old version of VB5 and the original post never said what his VB version was...

Hi, Ah good old fashioned programming problems. Your lines appear because the carriage return, line feed at the end of the line are being reversed. Try this modification to the code, I tried it here and it works ok. a$ = Text1.Text Text1.Text = "" For cnt = Len(a$) To 1 Step -1...

Hi, I remember the good old days when you had to program code. Very soon they'll be a command for everything :-) . 10 SWITCHON computer(supress user input) 20 DESIGNPROGRAM (game,original,platform,level,lives=3) 30 MAKEEXE (install, selfextract,burn-cd) 40 SWITCHOFF computer(no prompts) In...

Hi, How fast is your system ? Is it possible that your system is being taxed to much i.e. internet connection, winamp, browser, background apps, virus checkers, firewalls etc. and then on top of that your processor has to deal with the mouse. try running winamp from a file on the disk and...

Hi, From what you say in your first post, that 'strange melody' as you put it sounds like a failure in a POST test. A Power On Self Test is carried out when you swicth on the PC. It tests the motherboard, video cards etc. If something fails then the computer beeps at you. What those beeps...

Hi, Goto http://www.webattack.com/Freeware/security/fwpass.shtml and check out StarPW.exe(about 1/2 way down) This reveals windows ****** passwords. When you run the program, pick up the little cross-hair with the mouse (left button) and drop it on the ***** password. It Should then reveal...

Hi, There may be a way, but not that I can see with the OpenText method. I would run a quick conversion macro to load, strip and save the file. filefreeA=freefile Open "abc.txt" for input as #filefreeA filefreeB=freefile Open "xyz.txt" for output as #filefreeB While...

Hi, If you wanted them to stop entering the $ into the input box then use [COLOR=blue] Private Sub Text1_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer) [COLOR=black] If KeyAscii = Asc("$") Then KeyAscii = 0 [COLOR=blue] End Sub [COLOR=black] This is in the Keypress event of your text box. when they...

Hi, Without going into to much of your program, I would go about it this way cls screen 9 d = 4 dim a as integer dim b as integer dim y(0 to d) as integer for a=0 to d:y(a)=0:next a 'to clear the array dim x as integer dim q as integer . . . Retry: b =...

Hi, Are there any beeps when you boot up i.e. POST test results. When you boot up your machine the Power On Self Test tests various parts of the PC including the PCI bus, Video etc. Normally if the MB doesn't communicate with the Video card (because its faulty or the bus is faulty) the POST...

Hi, A quick and dirty way would be to save it as a string, and when reading it back convert it back to a number e.g. Print #1,MTR,MTOR,STR$(MCN),......... When saving Input #1,MTR,MTOR,MCNXX$,........... MCN=VAL(MCNXX$) When loading Any Help, Yes/No let me know...

Hi, Probably that file has been deleted or renamed. Try copying the file from another XP machine and copy it onto yours at the correct location. I'm not sure about XP but in '98 its only 25K so it will easilly fit on a floppy. Any Help, Yes/No let me know Regards...

Hi, Go to your BIOS settings. There is usually a setting for HALTING when the computer finds a problem. In some (if not all) this can be set to ALWAYS, NEVER or some other condition. Set this to never and you should be able to boot without a Keyboard. Any Help, Yes/No let me know Regards...
