Great Shades of Greyfox, this thread.

You didn't actually post the DxDiag.

I'm just going to chalk all this up to User Error, since it's becoming rapidly apparent that have difficulty with some of this stuff. Please begin learning at the basic level and work your way up. Assembly language is a great place to start with a ton of resources available.

I never said I had posted the DxDiag. I said that DxDiag said there were no problems. What I posted was the report that Hijackthis! gave me. Its in the spoiler tag.

Nikose Tyris · 06-03-2009, 11:16 AM

Yes, but you were asked to post the DxDiag, as I have just made clear to you in Yaplet. I pointed you towards some assembly language earlier. I'd recommend reading into it, it's a great place for anyone interested to get started. We don't begin automatically knowing anything, and we all had to work our way up. I started learning networking with Hex to Binary code. Anything worth it is never easy.

But as I've already stated, the problem here isn't about "working your way up" or any shit like that. Its a problem with compilers. Complexity of the code involved isn't even a factor. EDIT: And I just put the report into the post before this one. Enjoy.

Microsoft Visual C++ Express, recommended to me by many different people, doesn't use the same syntax as any of the tutorials anywhere ever and when I tell it to build a program, it puts it into some pocket dimension inaccessible to all but the vengeful Elder Gods with whom I am apparently lacking in favor.

Look here is your tutorial.

Start > Programs > Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express > Visual Studio Tools > Visual Studio Command Prompt

cd\

cd folder\subfolder\subfolder\subfolderwhereyourfilet ocompileisat

cl program.cpp -EHs

Enter

BAM

YOUR SHIT IS COMPILED

This is the method that is so simple they teach it to total retards like me and expect us to be able to do it, if you can't make this work I honestly don't know how to help you.

How large are the files you are attempting to create? you have a 1.8 processor. I can see you accidentally overwriting your code or writing bad code by accident and your PC not being able to keep up with an overflow.

Edit: Or how fifth put it.

Fifthfiend · 06-03-2009, 11:22 AM

I figure if we are talking on the level of "has never compiled a program before" the files he is writing can't be super-huge.

Nikose Tyris · 06-03-2009, 11:26 AM

I'm trying to be super nice and give him excuses that don't amount to "user error."

Pip Boy · 06-03-2009, 11:31 AM

I don't care if its "user error". I'm not going to lie, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing. I'm new to this. I think thats implied because if I weren't completely new to this, I wouldn't have to post a thread asking how to make a compiler work.

However, on suggestions from several different people including nikose, I'm just going to try a simpler code for now.

Thanks for the help Synk and Nik.
