He said he wanted to do 3D/DX. If it were me, I'd look into using three 8600GS nVidia cards since they're fairly capable, reasonably inexpensive, and readily available. The Quadro is too expensive and won't really give him any more capability. Of course, my attitude sucks, so take the above for what it's worth.

Try this: http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/W-P/files/fileio/article.php/c1287/[^] When you delete a file that's locked by another process, you could corrupt the other process, but then I assume you already know that.

YOu've found the wrong site for questions like this. CP Is more developement under Windows, not custom hardware developement. You'd probably get a (quicker and) better answer on a site specifically dedicated to electronics. There are a few people around here who do "dabble" in the electronic arts, but the chances of them seeing your post any time soon are not so good.

There seems to be something wrong with your CapsLock key. YOU'RE SCREAMING YOUR HEAD OFF IN THE FORUMS!! Shhhh... quiet. People are trying to think around here. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007

I am confident that it's not possible to determine which mouse produced the input messages from usermode ring-3. However, it might be possible at ring-0... by implementing a mouse filter driver which connected to \\Device\\PointerClass0 and other pointerclass input devices on the chain. But I can only imagine the chaos when multiple pointer devices are moving at the same time. Sounds a bit difficult even at this level to me. But if you want to explore, the sample code in the Microsoft DDK at: C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\src\input\moufiltr could be modified to research this idea. Best Wishes, -Randor (David Delaune)

according to me you should first understand the device driver for your k/B.. to develop a driver for windows environment you should download Driver Development Kit by Microsoft

You could use a pair of USB-RS232 adapters and an RS232 cable without needing any to write any drivers and just use standard rs232 code. But be forewarned USB-RS232 adapters have a reputation of both being flaky and only implementing the more common parts of the spec. -- If you view money as inherently evil, I view it as my duty to assist in making you more virtuous.

Google, or even CP, you should be able to find WMI sample code easially enough. If not, then use MSDN. Truth is the subjection of reality to an individuals perception

Use System.Management namespace(hint: visit and search MSDN) because this namespace has all about attached hardware to your computer plus diagnosing them!! To follow the path, Walk with the MASTER, See through the MASTER, Be the MASTER!

Use System.Management namespace for mor information visit and search MSDN! To follow the path, Walk with the MASTER, See through the MASTER, Be the MASTER!

You just go to device manager and view the hardware's properties where you get to see Memory address space, interrupts, and I/O ports for it! Or you could search Ralf Brown's free interrupt list the part about I/O ports! To follow the path, Walk with the MASTER, See through the MASTER, Be the MASTER!

Well make sure of three things first the cd-rom/dvd rom drives are ok, you may use device manager, then make sure the CDs / DVDs your using are OK this is detected when you insert them and a BLANK CD-ROM is poped up, third make sure the filesystem your chosing and the speed(52X,48X...etc.)are compatible with whats written on the CD-ROM/DVD-ROMS you purchased!If all is true post me again! To follow the path, Walk with the MASTER, See through the MASTER, Be the MASTER!

Yes it is absolutely necessary to have all needed signals in the sensitivity list for simulating RTL. They don't have to be there for synthesis though.

Cheers - I tried the ghost thing hoping the 120gb drive would hold out to copy but it wouldnt - all the data is backed up so its not all bad - its just the apps I need - oh well time to get the wallet out for some new software :P Dan

I'm also searching how to get CPU's temprature via ACPI.SYS, but there is no documentation at least on MSDN. you can try to read the open source code - Linux 2.6.20 ACPI Driver .:-D
