How To Recover from Registry Corruption

One of the most frustrating experiences working with computers is when they won't start. This frustration is usually compounded by cryptic error messages that don't provide you with enough information to determine what's wrong, let alone fix the problem.

Inside Vista's New Diagnostic Tools

Despite conventional wisdom on the subject, new versions of Windows have made big improvements in reliability and performance. This is particularly true of Windows XP, which is rock-solid compared to the earlier Windows 2000.

The Ultimate Free Windows Toolkit

I live in Winnipeg, Canada, which we locals call 'Bargain City.' If we can get something a dollar cheaper, we'll drive clear across town to get it.

Windows

The computer as we know it is a group of pieces of hardware put together to get a job done faster.

Win32 Programming

This site's goal is to provide a few lessons on Win32 programming. Keep in mind that everything you can do with Win32 using a C++ compiler, you can also do using Borland Delphi. This means that if Pascal is your primary or preferred language, you can write complete Win32 applications using Delphi instead of having to learn C++.
