    Install windows via network

    Hi everyone!
    Ok, i will provide all the important details:

    1) I have a laptop and i want to reinstall windows
    2) I do not install windows using a windows cd, it's a dvd that came with the computer and is a rescue dvd, it erases everything and copies windows and all the drivers. It's like an image.
    3) The dvd drive isn't working ok and i need to boot from this dvd to restore the OS.
    4) I have another computer...

    Problems with FILE pointers

    Hi everyone! I am currently experiencing some problems... My program crashes when i open a file which does exist. The problem seems to happen when two pointers point at the same file. Could it be the reason why my program's crashing?

    Paul. Thanks a lot.

    How stupid I am! I hadn't thought of that! It's for high school so i'm not looking for performance, so i am gonna do that! Thanks! Have to admit i always get answers to my questions... That's something great about this site... There should be somewhere where all the c++ functions are listed and ordered depending on what they are used for... Do you know any sites?...

    Delete a character at some point in file

    Hi guys. I want to know how i can delete a character stored in text document i open with C++. I need to delete a single character. I thought of "writing" the character that equals to the backspace but it doesn't seem to work, any ideas??

    Imagine this is the file:

    Hello World

    I want to delete a character depending on the pointer's position, for example deleting the "W", do you have any...

    replied to Turning Lights On with Computer
    in C
    Thanks for your post, but i didn't mean that. I meant using serial port as a signal. I will make a device that lets 110/220v turn on the lights only if serial port sends a positive signal. I am not using serial to turn on the lights under any circumstances! I need a function that sets voltage in serial pins to high or low when i want. That's what i need. Just to tell my device whether it should turn on the lights or not. Thank you all for your h...

    When you say it is not necessary to use serial port you are right, but i really want to avoid using parallel, and i don't know any other ports i could use. All i need to know is a function to handle serial port outputs. I searched info about it but i cannot get anything interesting. All the help i need is what function i can use in c++. Please help me. I really want to make this work!!

    Turning Lights On with Computer

    I wanted to make a program to turn on my bedroom lights. I wanted to use the serial port, and i need to know a function that handles serial port outputs. I wanted to give either 0 or 1 at the output of a single pin, then i would make a circuit that let AC go through the wires if the computer returned 1 via such pin. I need to know what function can handle this, this would be great for learning but also it would be awesome to turn on the lights trough...

    How can i read keys pressed on c++??

    You are probably thinking "Another Fool! He doesn't even know how to get what keys are pressed. Use getch()". You might think so, but i need to get the keys pressed without having the console active, i mean, imagine i am surfing the internet and write "http://thescripts.com" . I want my program to know that i have typed in "http://thescripts.com" , but the window i am typing that into is the Internet Explorer Window, so...

    Email IP using C++

    I wanted to know whether you had some tips of advice to make a program that sends to an specific email address the ip the computer has. Since my ip variates i need to know what ip my machine has (because i connect remotely), but it's not just like putting the content of the ipconfig command into a txt and sending it because i want to know the ip of the router (the machine is behind a router) and i need it to connect the computer and ipconfig does...

  • They Are W32 projects, but they are projects that DID run under VC++ 6.0 and do not run under VC++ 8.0. They Include "windows.h" which does not exist in VC++ 8.0 (what is unbelievable). That's the problem, the program does not have windows.h, maybe i could patch the program or something, but i don't think i could make it work by just downloading windows.h because there are thousand of references which are not going to work

  • Visual C++ Express Not compiling files form older versions

    Hi, I am trying to use Visual C++ express but i got some samples made under Visual C++ 6.0 that do not compile under the program mentioned at the beginning. Visual C++ Express says that the file included "windows.h" does not exist, what means Visual C++ Express does not come with such library (what makes me sick). Having understood that i wanted to know how i could solve this problem, so that i can compile Visual C++ 6.0 Projects under...

    Controlling a robot using c++

    Hi, guys. I am currently trying to develop a program made under c++ that could control a robot, i mean movement. I thought of using computer ports like serial or parallel which is not a bad idea. That's the first question: How to read and give output to serial and parallel ports.

    Then, and if the previous is not a good choice, i would like to know how to use a wireless technology.In this area I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT WORKS, so please...

    Converting C functions into c++ functions...

    Hi everyone. I have used some functions like gotoxy() for ages, they would work perfectly under Turbo C and were easy to use... Had no problems, nothing! But since i am using Dev c++ 4.9.9.2, those functions are not available. I am currently needing them for my programs (which are made under dev c++) and can't get to make it work.

    I have tried to make an executable by using TurboC which (having been given command-line parameters) would...

    replied to Text File Manipulation
    in C
    Well, i have done it, not in a very practical way but anyway.
    I used fopen("Filename ","mode"); where mode was the mode it would be opened, i used "r+" because it let you open without erasing and you could also edit.
    To get to the end, i used some functions, although i know it is quite impractical but at least it does work.

    Code:
    FILE *myfile;
    if((myfile=fopen("File.txt","r+"))==NULL)printf("File
