        I wonder if other industries are populated with the sort of person who posts questions like:

        Quote:

        Iam unable to find the code for [redacted]. Ihave been searching for [redacted] but didnt found any exact code. Please help

        Do they really believe that the job of a developer consists purely of Cut & Paste? Discuss.

            That's why I just prefer to consider me a simple engineer ;) ;P :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

            M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

                              Clearly the problem is that your thingies aren't aligned properly on your disky. To fix, run "format C:\"
