inline assembly in C++

I'm writting a little class that has a function to count the number of clock cycles that elapse on an Intel Pentium. I have got preliminary implementation done, but I wanted to ask the good folks here if they knew of a way to direct my inline assembly to either the primary or secondary (or nth)...

Folder options help

Yes this does the trick. Though I'm not sure now what I did that was wrong. I mean, the default "open" does not appear in the "file folder" file type, it never did. Well anyway, I created a new action according to your instructions and set that new action to the default. Thanks for your...

Primary Master Failure

Yeah I figured they were or are dying drives. It's rather odd that both drives would die in the same weekend though. Anyway, if you think it's a dead drive, could I then ask this group for recommendations? Where could I send a dead drive to get its data retrieved. Anyone know of reputable...

Primary Master Failure

No, this system isn't a namebrand. I had a hand in building this machine from components about four and a half years ago. I am not sure what he has done with the components, but I know one of the drives was a Western Digital. He is overclocking his system, but he's been doing it very slowly...

Disgusted with new Plextor CD-RW

What do you recommend for a CDRW

You guys are the best. Thanks for all the feedback. As this was a gift, I have decided to go with the Plextor. I have my Lite-On DVD and I have no issues with that or the brand. They are cheaper which made this decision hard to make. However, Plextor comes with Roxio software which was the...

9700 Help. Hard locks even with new drivers.

I tried out the fixes last night. Turning off the "Detail Textures", "Decals" and "Dynamic Lighting" on the Video tab of the Settings menu didn't do much for me. Although UT2003 ran with fewer crashes, it still crashed. So I used the fix to force UT2003 to use OpenGL instead of Direct3d...
