reinstalling visual basic express edition solved my problem. thanks anyways for the help - Kyle

Hi Kyle What do you fo exactly? In the site helpful information for hardware,... But if it's not your answer go to http://www.codeguru.com/ Have a nice day

I fixed the errors using the steps on this[^] page. i skipped the 4th step. thank you for the ideas and input - Kyle

Rewrite the app to be most efficient. Other than that, you can temporarily lower the memory requirements, but it'll creep back up while you use your application. The CLR does a very good job at managing memory. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

other accelerators work by caching the pages whose links are on the page you are viewing, in the background, while you are viewing the initial page. kind of pointless though cause you could end up downloading and caching a whole heap of crap you will never look at. mainly a dialup (56K) approach, not so relative for broadband speeds. could always implement a neural network to learn which pages you are most likely to browse to though :-D g00fy

So the accelerators opens more than one socket and downloads the file from different part of the file, i.e partial download, partial download is possible in http1.1 and also the server should support the partial download. Downloading the same file from different offset, to some extend improves the bandwith utilization and hence improves the download time. gr8coaster329 wrote: any help, includeing websites tutorial or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Check the GET HTTP request for more info, You might need to know the HTTP protocol for this too. or google "partial get request" Partial request can also be achived using FTP protocol, so the download accelerators uses either FTP or HTTP depending on the location of the content i.e. on http server or ftp server. -Prakash

Taking a guess, the programs need one or more DLL's included with VS2005. Use the "Dependency Walker" application (DEPENDS.EXE) to find out which DLL's are needed. If this tools isn't included in VS2005, you may need to get it from VS2003. Software Zen: delete this;

Look, there is a *.dsw file in the demo download file. In Description the author (katasonov)wrote: "I have created two Visual Studio 6.0 projects as an example of how easy it is to add XML support to ATL objects:........" have a look, I hope I could help you

So it needs to be in the same folder as your exe. It doesn't need to be part of the project. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

You're suffering from a common problem. You want to build the Eiffel Tower, and you're yet to build a sandcastle. Instead of copying and pasting code almost at random, you should buy a beginner book on C++, and work through it. Then, when you can interpret the code you're copying, you may have a shot at making it work. Yes, if we posted back and forth four more times, we might get past this problem, but it would not help you in the long run. You're biting off more than you can chew. Buy a book ( teach yourself C++ in 24 hours is a good one ), and ask questions here when you get stuck, but work through it. Then try a few simpler projects, before you start trying to manipulate COM objects and otherwise use more complex APIs. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

yes that is what i wanted to do thank you i will try it - Kyle

I agree with all that Christian has said about the design being inappropriate but that's up to you. The simple answer to the problem you have is that your timer event handler cmd_time_reached is not a member of the frm_splash_screen class so this->Close() will not close the splash screen (this doesn't point to it). You don't show how the splash screen is created but you could keep a handle to it and do SplashScreen->Close() The opinions expressed in this communication do not necessarily represent those of the author (especially if you find them impolite, discourteous or inflammatory).
