Actually, yes. It answered my questions regarding COM, but I'm still somewhat clueless as to the minimal hardware requirements... :confused: Yariv -------------------------- "Work Hard, Code Fast, Retire Young"

Did you try implementing a bandstop filter to cut out the voice frequencies? The human voice is pretty much limited in the frequency range, so if you cut out a certain frequency band, it should do the trick. "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one." - Senator Palpatine

Did you want to hardcode an IP address IN the InitializeConnection? Or did you mean you wanted to hardcode the TYPE of address as being TCP/IP? Which type of DirectPlay object are you trying to use? Client/Server or Peer-to-Peer? Erik I hit faked him with my win32 API .chm and the peabrain goes for it. I follow it up with a salvo of left's and right's sending him down hard. It's lunch time and he's getting a Champ Sandwhich Special. I said, How's that Mr. VB?! Is that 'I wanna use COM in that Server enough for you?!' ...Ever since then, I've been the Champ.

Block their ip address in your firewall.;P I hit faked him with my win32 API .chm and the peabrain goes for it. I follow it up with a salvo of left's and right's sending him down hard.

Yup you can use OpenGL for 2d games, just as you can use Direct3D8 for 2d games...all you have to do is texture map a quad primitive to display them on your device.. AVOID MFC like the plague. The advantage of using your 3d hardware for 2d effects (such as a tile engine) is that you get a LOT of functionality "for free"...stuff like alpha blending, scaling, rotation, etc are ALL handled by the 3d hardware...this also cuts WAY down on the amount of artwork you actually need for your game.. And don't even bother getting caught up in the "opengl vs. direct3d" wars...they're both ONLY as fast as the hardware drivers, otherwise they're (now with Direct3d8) the same speed...

hehe, I think all programmers have been here. I work for a game-programming company and game-programmers are not very good creating comments or explaining anything,... so the first thing I do when I start on a former project is to comment what is going on. I also change the way the code looks, this might sound strange but each programmer has there way of using indents and code alignment, by changing the code to your appeal makes it easier to understand. It's boring to do this change but I found it to help me a lot. Peter Marino ( IO Interactive ) Hitman2 will be even better!

I'll look there

where is this onmouseover??:confused:

Win32 API - FindFirstFile, FindNextFile, FindClose.

See the Windows Platform SDK documentation, in Base Services - Hardware - Power Management.

TRegistry? Let me guess you are using Borland? First thing you need to do is get a real development tool like VC++. If you read the documentation you will find that RegOpenKeyEx will return none zero if the key does not exist. HKEY hKey; if( ERROR_SUCCESS == RegOpenKeyEx( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, "\Software\MyGroup\Safe", KEY_READ, NULL, &hKey) ) { // Key exists } else { // Key does not exist }

I report all spam messages to SpamCop. Spam is actually illegal in my country (Finland), but reporting foreign spammers to the authorities would be useless.

Read the /proc filesystem, there's an entry for each PID in the system. See man 4 proc for details.
