Thanks. Works with that option. Actually, that's kind off silly. The code clearly states I want to catch exceptions. It makes no sense that you also have to enable an option to do what you've written in code. Hope there aren't many of these pitfalls. Any article on stuff like this so I can educate myself?

Hi all. Due to an upgrade to Vista, I'm also upgrading my projects from VC++ 6.0 to VC++ 2K5. I have a strange problem, probably due to my limited knowledge of Vista / VC++ 2K5. Say I have this code compiled with VC++ 6.0: CDialog* pDialog = NULL; try { pDialog->Detach(); } catch(CException* e) { e->Delete(); } catch(...) { } No problem at all, the exception is handled. If I compile the same code with VC++ 2K5, I get a second chance exception. Both in debug en release versions. How come?

I've had to use pliers in a few instances as the connector would not give up! Indeed. I've been scared sometimes to break the drive or connector when trying to unplug the power cable. These things are pretty darn good at staying connected. DavidCrow wrote: Without accusing anyone, you can tell the customer that the box has been tampered with and leave it at that.

A lot of work today, but only support mainly. Got a server that isn't working anymore. It's an SQL server system with the database spread over 4 HD of 80 Gig each. This system belongs to some idiots and we have to do some maintenance at least once a month (always stupid stuff). So the server got back today. First thing I noticed is that 2 screws are missing at the back of the case. Anyway, I power up the system, and it seems that HD 4 (secondary slave) is not detected. So I open up the case and notice that the power cable of this disk is unplugged. So stupid. So I plug it in, reboot and everything works again. Now, I am known to be a little naive, but you will not make me believe that the power cable unplugged itself during transport or something, taking 2 screws from the back of the case with it. So why do they insist they didn't open it? Beats me. I've put a sticker on the back of the case so that it's impossible to open the case without tearing the sticker. I would just love to tell them they are idiots to their face, but they probably would stop paying... ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My second CP article: MAP files[^] "Hey, Eddie, can I pour you a beer?"

Sounds vaguely familiar, but a lot of games have things that sound like your description. Did the planet have a common room with a number of doors, each leading to a room of monsters and power-ups. Ultraman or something like that comes to mind, but I'm not sure... ----------------------- New and improved: kwakkelflap.com My second CP article: MAP files[^] "Hey, Eddie, can I pour you a beer?"

Nope. The original quote used other names. I changed the names to those of Eddie and Richy from the BBC series Bottom.

I don't even look in the headers. Most of the time, looking at the size is enough. If it's 30-40K then it's too big to be a simple mail, but too small for an attachment that makes sense.
