  1. What did you call in the init() function? Is the error originate from there? Did you try in another browser?
  2. Books usually is better, in the sense that everything is structured and easy to follow, and you can easily find sample for "ordinary" stuffs. But when you reach a level that you can handle most programming task, but just need to know how to do certain task(usually not ordinary ones), then books might bot be that helpful. I'm been facing that kind of problem. A while back, i need to write a program to display multiple video onto a few 3d surfaces, at the same time manipulate the surface's physical. No books give a good enough sample to reach what I wanted. So i resort to searching on the internet. But the obstacle is that you have to get the right keyword to search. Took me quite a while reading other's forum and sample, and then finally, got it working after a few months of research. I have another site to recommend, http://gpwiki.org/. Just search for collision. They have forums and also a quite a lot of useful tutorial. Good luck
  3. If you use VB.Net 2005, it should be building against dot Net 2.0. Then it should works properly in vista. Dot Net 2.0 is supported out of box in vista. Cryptography might have diff in terms of vista and xp. I've once found out that one particular encryption produce 2 diff output from the same input, in XP sp1 and sp2. So i assume that vista might have drop support for some older type of cryptography engine. Try with a diff one and see if it still works in vista. Or better still, compile in vista.
  4. As far as I know of, DirectX do provide an interface "ICollidable", of which you can create a sphere or rectangular box as the bounding sphere/box. From there you can detect directly from the API if the 2 object overlap each other, or collide in this case. I've found a sample chapter that explain a little bit more, but it's in C#. Introduction to 3D Game Engine Design Using DirectX 9 and C# You can search for similar terms under GL at google
  5. Sounds like pakistan is not encouraging IT to grow, seeing from internet to it's power supply, which is both very essential but not working properly. What a pity
  6. I would recommend 5200+, since it's the lowest that comes with 1MB cache. 5000+ and below has only 512k cache.(I'm not that sure what's the Black Edition has)DDR3 is still not recommended, since the first generation DDR3 is just as fast as the fastest DDR2. The Higher clock rating on DDR3 is just misleading. Hard Disk, go for RAID, with at least 2 HDD, 250GB and above. You can calculate the $/GB ratio, and get the most cost effective one for now.
  7. Miss out a word, i actually meant i might wanted to "write" one,
  8. I guess I might want to a software to constantly check the latest topic
  9. When you said that, do you mean other type of CD won't burn, as in the burning program won't let you burn? Or it doesn't recognize the CD at all? Or some error occur along the way? I'm also getting the impression that it only burn slower CDs? You don't really need to get the model, just let us know what's the burning speed. It should be shown at the front panel. Normally I would recommend burning at most at half of the maximum speed of your burner. As it gets older, chances are the quality will deteriorate with time. So staying in the middle give some safe margin of quality assurance.
  10. Well, there's actually no "best" per se when it comes to video card. It all depends on you to compromise between price and performance. One thing though, AGP video card is not worth investing already. Most or actually all new motherboard now does comes with an AGP slot. They now comes with PCIe slots instead. So if you bought the "best" one now, it won't be usable when you upgrade your pc next time. If you can afford the "best" AGP video card, then might as well upgrade the whole system. Actually if say you can afford to buy a top of the line video card costing as much as USD$1000, you might as well split it and spend $500 to get a new motherboard, cpu and ram, and the half to a get a mid-high end video card. It might actually turn out better, since PCIe is much much faster then AGP.
  11. Well, you can always give more input or tips along the way,
  12. Or you can try the more ancient method Dim regKey As RegistryKeyregKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software", True)regKey.DeleteSubKey("MyApp", True)regKey.Close() Or you can refer to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  13. Check under the Event Viewer (assuming you're using WinXP), look for the same error, and look at the detail, see if any application is mentioned. From there you can then narrow down the issue. You can try reinstall the affected application. Most likely it's the driver or control panel app for your connection/modem, especially ADSL modem. Dial Up modem seldom have these kind of problem.
  14. DNS configuration is per ISP. When you switch ISP, by right it should configure itself automatically when your modem first connect. If it didn't fetch the info properly, then you'll have to set it up manually. Looks like now you're using Telstra Bigpond ISP's DNS server while you connect to another ISP. It wil lstill work, but there's an initial lag when you first access new domain for every new session, it's because your pc ask to have the domain name resolve in a DNS server outside of your ISP's network, so it need to do a few more hops to get it done, at the same time increases outbound traffic.
  15. it's actually RGB and CMYK(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black). This site has a detail description http://www.harrywaldman.com/June%2014%2004%20Pbol.html and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/
  16. Seems like the DHCP for your ISP is not working. The purpose of DHCP is to auto assign the IP for you (dynamic IP), and the DNS plus the gateway setting. If you can access the page using IP, that means your IP and gateway setting is working fine. Only that your pc cannot resolve the domain name to it's corresponding IP, which is the job of DNS. So your problem could be software (configuration) or hardware as in your router or switch/hub configuration. * The following steps is assuming you're using WinXP Have you tried to connect to the internet from 1 pc directly? If that works, then you can get hold of the DNS from the connection status. Keep that number, I'll show you how to use it in the later step. If connecting directly won't work also, then you can call your ISP, ask for the DNS server IP. Should be the same with the one you obtain from the method above. They have to give you the DNS Server IP, as this is their responsibility. The reason you can give is that you're doing a manual configuration. You can also obtain from their website, provided you can other means to go online and also that they did post it. (they should). Or you can also try the DNS Server IP posted by mHelmy. Once you get your DNS Server IP, goes to your connection property. Right click on the connection that you use to connect to the internet, and select "Property". Since you're sharing the internet, most likely you're using LAN(Local Area Network). In the list at the middle, look for "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)". Select it, then click Properties. At the lower portion, select "Use the following DNS server addresses:". Then key in DNS server IP you obtain from above into the boxes. If you have 2, key in both. If it already have some IP keyed in, then try to note it down, in case something else gone wrong. That should do the job. Let me know if it still doesn't work, i'll show you more method to troubleshoot. Good Luck
  17. Look at http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. It's FC-uPGA. From the list you can tell which one is compatible. Take note of your chipset also, notebook chipset are a bit picky
  18. Your situation is a bit unusual here. In that case putting a stabilizer before the UPS will solve your problem. The built in stabilizer is different from the stand alone stabilizer. Since you're using online UPS, the voltage stabilizing function is part of the design, so indirectly, the stabilizer is built in. Maybe the UPS portion is too sensitive. Plugging your PC directly to the wall while during voltage fluctuation and it still works, is because the switching power supply has a wide working voltage range. Usually 180v to 260v for a 240v power supply, some less efficient one like those use in tv can cover from 80v to 260v. But the main purpose of a stabilizer is to reduce sudden fluctuation or voltage spike, which switching power supply cannot handle very well. Take note of the input voltage range of the stabilizer when you get one. Take one as wide as possible. Better still if you can try it out at the shop. Since most of the time the voltage is low, i believe it's the same at the shop as well. See if the stabilizer can work well. A stabilizer usually comes with a voltage meter or indicator, so you can monitor the output and see if it fluctuate. If it does, that means the voltage at your place is much lower that the stabilizer can handle, then you'll be out of option. So, let's hope not. Sorry to give you wrong advice which didn't work very well before this.
  19. If you want a PHP based web app, try Gallery:http://galleryproject.org/. Latest version is 2.2.3. I've tried 2.0 before, quite powerful. But you'll need some default php library, check the requirement page before you try to install one.
  20. ethergeek, you're right about the metric. Didn't think of that. Xnet, you can also change the metrci from the property of the wired connection. Under the property, open up the property of the TCP/IP, click on advance. Now you should see that "Automatic metric" is checked. Unchecked it. For you wireless connection, use metric of 1, as for your wired connection, use a metric of 2 or higher. More priority is given to the lower number.
  21. Try fix the IP of your wired network, then don't put anything for the DNS and gateway. Or entered the gateway of your wireless network into the setting of the wired network card. You can check your auto assigned gateway (via DHCP by your router) by looking under the connection status, Support tab. The default gateway will be shown there.Good Luck
  22. For windows XP, i would use tweakUI, it's simpler to configure instead of directly editing the registry, which is error prone. Get a copy of tweakUI from microsoft, it's free. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Once you run it, goes to My Computer\Auto Play\Drive. Uncheck all your drive. Under Type, i would keep both the Enable Auto Play for CD and DVD drives and removable drives. That way, non of the drive will autoplay it's content, and at the same time, if you want to run the autoplay, you can just right click on the drive and select autoplay. If you did the the other way around, which is keeping all the drives checked, and uncheck both the option under Types, then you will not be able to right click and select autoplay. Which sometime is useful, as some CD or DVD might use the autoplay function to run the setup or menu. Otherwise, you'll have to dig in the CD or DVD for the exe. Lately there's been quite a few viruses or spyware utilizing the autoplay\autorun feature and auto plant itself whenever you click on the drive. Thus disabling the autoplay does help alot here. Also good prevention for those who share their thumbdrives a lot. Good Luck
  23. I was suspended lately. Haven't been suspended for quite a while. Was back for Raya celebration 2 weeks ago, to my wife's home town, no internet access, and until now still busy with my back log.Anyway, I notice that even after I was suspended, my point still get deducted everyday, why? It wasn't the same before, or I didn't notice it before. But anyway, it shouldn't be, cause our hosting has been suspended, by right no more credit should be deducted. If it happen that I don't post anything for longer time, it would be harder to catch back to positive credit and resume my hosting.Hope I can catch up with the credit soon, don't like to see my hosting down for so long
  24. I'm not that sure. From the MSDN example, you need to implement the 2 methods under ISerializable. You'll have to manually add each member value into the SerializationInfo. If the PlayList object is one of your struc or class, then it's possible, if not, it might or might not be, need to search for more info on that. Btw, on top of my first post, make sure that both side of the program has the same version of assembly, or at least the object is still the same order as before. If not, anything can happen.
  25. Well, there's no free lunch in this world. If you don't mind to pay for a hosting, by all means. But for me, I like this community, the forum. Initially I was having a hard time to cope up with the credit also, but in the later stage, it wasn't that bad at all.
