Just grab a copy of "driver cleaner pro" free software, uninstall ATI, run drivercleaner and clean ATI, then power down and install the nvidia card, power up and bobs your uncles mother

 Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003
#10284 posted by necros on 2006/05/15 19:47:23
was free for download right? i couldn't find a single copy of it on Microsoft's site, so i'm picking it up via p2p.
from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/
The Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 has been replaced by Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition. Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition provides a complete integrated development and debugging environment making it the easiest way to create powerful applications using the C/C++ language. Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition also contains an enhanced version of the C/C++ optimizing compiler for the fastest executables. Best of all, the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition is completely free!
:( Although, after using visual studio express for C# the past several months, I kind of like it :O
 Yeah
#10286 posted by necros on 2006/05/15 20:06:18
but 2005 is a big gui version of it... 2003 was a nice simple command line compiler tool. :P
i downloaded the 2005 one, and it's asking to register it in 30 days too, so i'm not sure what that's all about...
 So

anyone have perosnalexperience with an lcd/tft monitor and dvi ? I've read stuff on the net but apart from the generic "it's better than vga" I cant pin down exactly what looks better ? Is there less alising for example ?
just asking, becuase dvi-d cables are a pain to find in melbourne and if it's not really worth it, I'd rather save the time and money.

Err.... you register and then it doesn't nag you about it anymore...

oh ok; i just saw the word 'register' and hit cancel right away. usually, that word is synonymous with 'give us your money'. :P
anyway, i got the 2k3 version now, so i'm good. d3 source code, here i come... o.o

i've been using a DVI lcd display for a while now, so I can't remember what it's like to not have one. Signal quality couldn't be better, but it's a pretty subtle difference to see i guess, you'd probably need to see vga/dvi side by side.
if you're happy with your picture don't bother, if its a hassle to get the cable... all I read is that it addresses the individual pixels 'directly' or some shit. I don't know LCD monitor technology at all.
 Re: Vga Vs Dvi
regular vga is analog, dvi is digital. Kind of silly to convert a digital signal from the system to analog output and then back to digital display IMO. (which is what you do with an LCD with a VGA interface.) But regardless, most people can't tell the difference unless its on a very high-end digital display.
 Vga

I bought this display not realising it only has VGA (no DVI) but at 1440*900 things still look damn purdy.
It's probably like playing at 2X compared to 16X anti-aliasing. If you have never seen it good you don't know what you are missing

#10294 posted by nitin on 2006/05/16 15:11:10
yeah I know about the analog/digital thing so going by tv tech I was wondering if that meant less aliasing and other artifacting etc or just sharpness ?
Or whether I was way off given tv and montor tech are probably different
 Attn Kell
The download for chapters on kell.leveldesign.org appears to be fuxored. Site says its 15.5mb, file is 15.0mb and I get all sorts of errors trying to open it. Tried ~5 times downloading.
On a side note, is the source code for either chapters or quoth available? Wanted to peek at the code for the voreling =)

#10296 posted by Kell on 2006/05/17 02:39:10
thx, I'll investigate forthwith; I seem to recall I had trouble with a corrupted zip in the past.
re: source code - and this goes for everyone who has emailed me about chapters or quoth source code - I DON'T HAVE IT :) I never had it, I never needed to since necros was the coder. So, thank you for your interest but please: pester necros ( gods know he deserves it �_� ).
