• Visual Studio Express Editions Visual Studio C++ Express 2005 builds send my monitor nuts

  I'm running XP Home + SP2. Video adapter is NVidia GeForce 4 MX 440. Visual Studio C++ Express 2005. My monitor goes into a blackout/clicking frenzy due to resolution changes it believes exist during any build. This happens every time "Compiling..." appears in the Output window, and when "Linking..." comes up in it. This slows down my builds a lot, plus I can't use the machine for other tasks while all this is going on ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions VWD & VB 2005 Express

  I have downloaded and presumably installed both as they appear in a Visual Studio 8 folder, and have received registration keys for both.

• Windows Forms How to create a DropDownList/ContextMenu style window?

  I need a popup window(no border) to input some text. But it should be something like the drop down list of a combobox which doesn't make the owner form inactive. Making it a child window does that but it will be clipped by the owner form, while drop down list won't be clipped. I've tried changing the CreateParams to use different set of flags, but not successful. And I've been googling the whole afternoon... I saw someone says not to make ...Show All

It appears that there is no way to install the samples if you have installed the documentation and workstation items. Is there somewhere I can download the samples Thank ...Show All
