Sigh... everyone and their windows advice... REFORMAT! REFORMAT!
First, get windows 2000. not XP, not 98, not ME.
Second, CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, you DONT need to wipe your whole HD. Just
kill off the Windows folder, and re-install. All your apps will still be
there
in C:\program files
Yes, but the Windows Registry that holds all of the yummy application settings,
options and serial numbers will be lost. It would be wise to make a backup of
USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT before wiping out your Windows partions. Also some
screwy applications (like Outlook) store all of the application data in obscure
Windows folders (like Windows\Application
Data\{BR549_OTHER_SCREWY_CRAP_HERE}\BLAH\BLAH).
God, I hate the way Windows stores things! BRING BACK .INI FILES!!! :)

RE: [hlcoders] [OT] Compiling the SDk
I'm running WinXP Pro with VS .net and am having no problems what so ever. The only problem I had was installing the 64 bit drivers for my video card, then realising what I had done :( (I don't have a 64 bit processor). Oh well, that wasn't Windows XP's fault anywho.

Quite a few programs work perfectly even after having the registry wiped. Neat trick with Windows 2000 is to backup your user profile, delete and reinstall windows, then copy your backed up profile OVER the new one... you get to keep all your settings, and the registry is intact!

Re: [hlcoders] [OT] Compiling the SDk
what compilers can be used with the SDK, I would use VC++ but for some reason, it doesn't compile (errors etc.) While I personally find BCB easier to use than VC++ for most stuff (personal bias), if you have VC++, I would recommend using it for Half-Life, since that's what the code was written with. What kind of problems are you having? Jim ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders

I'm probably out of my depth here, but I'm going to go out on a limb. I think that file (msobj10.dll) is corrupted; you need to reinstall VC++ or just replace that file.

RE: [hlcoders] [OT] Compiling the SDk
I took a look in the MSDN Library and it says that msobj10.dll is either corrupted or out of date (strange that support.ms.com doesn't have error message interpretation in it). Anyway, after a quick look I got a newer version of the file, I get the warning - /PDBTYPE is no longer supported; ignored But that should be fine, no errors. However, on my way to fixing it, I found an excellent resource - http://212.129.166.70/ (The Free-Dynamic Link Library), it contains masses of DLL, OCX, SYS, VXD and a few other system files. If you need something like that, go there. Just though I'd tell you that. -Philip Quinn -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jim Hunter Sent: Friday, March 22, 2002 11:11 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] [OT] Compiling the SDk LINK : fatal error LNK2023: bad dll or entry point 'msobj10.dll'!'?FCreateReader@IDebugSSectionReader@@SA_NPAEIPAPAV1@K@Z' Error executing link.exe.

Re: [hlcoders] [OT] Compiling the SDk
I'm kind of new to HL coding and that so expect a lot of questions from me. Anyway, I'm wondering what compilers can be used with the SDK, I would use VC++ but for some reason, it doesn't compile (errors etc.), but I was looking an Borland C++ Builder, would that work with the SDK?
