I got that idea out of a BBC documentery Dave. Hitler was quoted as saying he had been conned out of his war by the politicians AFTER he read back what he had signed. I wish Mrs would try the same thing.

I wonder if Mrs May is related to Neville Chamberlain in any way ? That statement of political intent she brought back from the EC is worth less than the piece of paper Chamberlain brought back from Germany. At least Hitler changed his mind AFTER he had signed. The EU has no INTENTION of negotiating in good faith if this dumb deal gets through a vote.

A recuva deep scan managed to get back all the music on a disc I had accidentally formatted. Unfortunately it also recovered stuff I had deleted over several months too. I had to spend a couple of day deleting duplicates and partially recovered files. A partition recovery with one of the mentioned tools is the way to go if you can.

I would check the speakers as if it is protection relay not clicking in then they are a likely cause. Course now you are going to tell me that you only have a digital output connected ?

Acronis do a demo version of their disk director app. I dont know how good it is but its free to try.

If you just want your files back then Recuva from the makers of Ccleaner is my favorite.

That switching sounds like the output protection relay that most HiFi amps have these days. If the sound card has a decent amount of power output ( could that be why it needs a PCIe power connector ?) that would make sense. I can’t see that any sort of time out would be involved.

I notice the Nokia 1 runs Android Go so you may not have the usual music player installed. You can get Google Play Music from the play store or just pick something else like PowerAmp trial.

It will work with NO sim. If its a fairly recent android phone have you looked under Apps>Tools>Myfiles ?

I said before that there is no easy way to rename a project in Visual Studio but I lied ! All you have to do is make sure the solution window is open (it is by default), right click the project name, choose rename and type a new name. This will change the name of your project folder but it will not rename the folders that Visual Studio created within it so its still best to get it right first time.

I am actually coming on a fair bit with my understanding of objects and classes inspite of the errors and omissions in the edX course that i’m following. The whole business of splitting functions into seperate declaration header and definition cpp files outside of the “main” cpp makes much more sense when you do it with classes. If you include a public: constructor in your class then you can create as many instances of that class as you like inside main as class objects. Each instance will have its own name and C++ will treat them as a data type so you can have an array of class objects for instance. I am also finding my way around Visual Sudio much better now so thats handy too.

And that is why Microsoft would really like us to only write managed code using their .NET framework and C#. As I am a born tinkerer though i’m not having it ?

I see the compatability problem with the HD 2000/4000 cards is caused by their drivers and that Microsoft is looking into it even though AMD doesnt support them any more.

Most Windows compatability issues in the future are going to be caused by drivers because they are what the OS interacts with at the end of the day.

Application issues are mostly caused by drivers too because the only way that a user mode app can run kernel mode code is to install a driver. These are not device drivers but things like file system filter drivers that need to run in kernel mode. Once in kernel mode then driver code can do much as it likes and if it doesnt follow the rules then the next version of Windows may well break it.

I would never knock the Dummies series. I got the original DOS for Dummies when my company gave me my first PC in 1993. I looked at the preview sections of A Tour of C++ on Amazon though and it seems to be about the right level of detail for me. The same author also does a Guide to programming using C++ book but only the last few chapters look like they will tell me things I dont already know.

I am thinking of buying a C++ programming book. I have my eye on “A Tour of C++” by Bjarne Stroustrup (the creator of C++). Anyone have any views on this ?

What sort Ed ? Military coup or glorious revolution ?

Oh yeh you said it was ? Dont know then ?

Looking more closely at your screen shot it looks like you are using the default mail program from your browser instead of going to the web page directly. Also looks like the program is the yucky Windows mail, is that even set up ?

[Wheels-Of-Fire]

Windows Live Mail stopped working with the MAPI (Microsofts Message App Programming Interface) protocol last year so I had to look up the IMAP addresses and ports and use them instead. MAPI is used by Outlook and exchange server for mail, calender and other stuff. Never had a problem getting at Hotmail from a browser though.
