    Native resolution missing from list!

    Hello, I am having an issue where I am not able to set my monitor's native resolution. I have searched everywhere for a solution but couldn't find one, so I have resorted to writing a forum post to see if someone knows a solution or could help me diagnose the problem. Sorry if the post is a bit...

    Infinite loop from input

    I actually use the global getline function from the string class, I just forgot to add the #include <string> line to the code sample (I'll add it now). Someone found a link with similar info for me (http://www.mathbits.com/MathBits/CompSci/APstrings/APgetline.htm). Apparently cin leaves...

    Infinite loop from input

    I get an infinite loop from the following code, after entering the string s. Why doesn't it stop at the cin prompt during the next iteration and how can I fix this? #include <iostream> #include <string> using namespace std; int main() { int num; string s; do { cout << "enter num "...

    Boot issues

    Yes it is. CPU is at 3.75 V (stock is 3.25 V, I couldn't get to 2.4 GHz with that) Memory voltage is probably at stock, in BIOS DDR2 Overvoltage is set to "Normal" Timings are set to "Auto", they show as 5-5-5-15 in CPU-Z (stock)

    Quick question about Vcore

    Probably, because you'd be increasing your total clock speed from 3200 to 3600. I suggest raising the total speed in much smaller increments (raise the FSB, not the multiplier), to see if your CPU can even handle that.

    Boot issues

    I'm overclocking my E6400 + DS3 system and it refuses to boot with the same overclocked settings some times but not others. For example, if I achieve 2.4 GHz at 300 x 8 it will boot, but if I use 400 x 6, it won't (note that RAM frequency is always at stock or less). Often times it will refuse...

    E6400 CPU fan not spinning

    When I booted up my system for the first time I heard clicking noises. I looked inside the case and noticed the CPU fan wasn't spinning. I promptly turned off the computer and turned it on again soon after to have a closer look. This time I didn't hear any out of place noises, but I observed...

    Problem with getline function in C++

    Does a blank line have a null terminator? If so, the for loop wouldn't be entered in that case, and the convertText function would wrongly be called. The other case is if the line starts with a colon. Don't you mean "032BPresident Reagan"? If it doesn't start with 032B, it breaks out of the...

    Problem with getline function in C++

    Yes, using a regular array fixed it. It's strange that it worked with lines that were under a certain character length though. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I did think that there were probably some more practical ways of doing it, but we haven't learned the string class so I...

    Problem with getline function in C++

    The getline function kills the program if the current line is longer than 33 characters. #include <iostream> #include <fstream> using namespace std; int main() { char* tempstr; int spaceindex; fstream file_op("c:\\somefile.txt",ios::in)...

    GTA3 Running super slow?

    This may be a stretch but.. try changing the Audio Hardware setting in Options to something else. I used to get servere slowdowns when I hit objects like poles and fences (and certain sounds were triggered), until I changed it to Miles Fast 2D Positional Audio.

    Actually you can do it for under $250. Get a 6800GS for ~$170, and see if you need more RAM. If so, get a 512MB stick for ~$40.

    LUA arrays/structs?

    Is there any way to ether create a two-dimensional array or an array of structs in LUA? I want to store sets of values and then be able to assign each value in a particular set to a varaible. I've read that you can put tables inside of tables in LUA, is it possible to do it that way?

    Humorous CNC Generals Video

    I hate those too, and I play GLA exclusively (though not stealth general). You can't build enough quads to defend against them, since a single bomb will take out several of them that are close by, and probably escape. Once they have enough planes, there's almost no way they can lose.
