Programming Frontend in Visual Basic -examples?
Frobozz:
For all you Parallel Port programmers out there who are really pissy about 2000/XP's port security, go to the following site:

...and download "UserPort". Kinda makes all your problems go away. Examples are in C++ but they can be called in VB just as easilly. It's a 100% transparent solution.
Carsten Carlos:
Great, so XP&W2K are in again :D
If only my Atari XL-Emulator wouldn't stutter on XP... Could be the Soundblaster live, though.
Frobozz:
I have a lot of problems with my SB Live stuttering if it's not getting enough CPU time (and it seems to need a LOT sometimes). I'm thinking about upgrading to an Audigy or an Extigy here in the near future to see if that solves anything.

I'm not that sure that this would help - if you ever try, keep me informed. The SB-live! real sucks with XP, under W98 no problems.
E.g. the game "Wiggles" looses every 1st second when a sound ist started. What drives me mad about this, everything works ok when you set hardware-acceleration down, but the Soundblaster live is definitely the only soundcard that makes problems!
I guess Creative WAS the best company to buy soundcards from, but now I really doubt that. Unfortunately you haven't got other possibilities when you wanna have the best 3D-sound available.
I though about trying a Terratec, but the have "only" EAX2, and not the EAX HD, which sounds certainly cooler -although I never heard it myself.
Howard_Casto:
fro is right, that's a resource issue not a sound card one.... it takes alot of ram/processing power to run a sound card and a good one like a sound blaster takes even more..... the reason it works better in 98 is because 98 requires less resources than xp
i doubt upgrading cards would solve anything unfortunately
