I've installed Visual Studio 2008 (and SP1) on a 64-bit copy of Windows 7.

The directories for the 32-bit OpenMP and DebugOpenMP dlls have been created in there correct...

Here's the problem: I've been working on a little game where monsters bounce off the walls (edges) of the main form, and it's going swimmingly, but it only paints one of each type of monster when it should be iterating through a list of each of them and calling their OnPaint and Move methods: private void Pacmen_Paint(object sender, Pa...

We have seen a strange issue on some Windows XP machines involving the "Co-ordinated Universal Time" time zone.

I need to determine roughly how much VRAM a system's graphics card has. I know all the reasons why I shouldn't but I do. It doesn't need to be perfect (some cards lie etc.) but I need a ballpark. On mac it's fairly easy through core graphics and IOKit to just politely ask how much VRAM is attached to a display, but I haven't a clue on wi...
I was under the impression that QueryPerformanceCounter was actually accessing the counter that feeds the HPET (High Performance Event Timer)---the difference of course being that HPET is a timer which send an interrupt when the counter value matches the desired interval whereas to make a timer "out of" QueryPerformanceCounter you have t...
