But if you need that image processing app I can get write for you. I don't know the entire purpose of what you are doing, but there are methods for accessing images in parts and editing them instead of loading the entire image at once. Furthermore there are methods for psuedo loading the entire image just to give you a general idea of what image looks like. While the program can perform the changes in the background. A good developer can develop any situation to get the desire

bakerstreet, Maybe we got off the wrong foot... Let me apologize for insulting you.. I am just a Win9x user who is a programmer and needs support. My posts are not with some technical background. And Win9x is still a viable and useful OS. If every WinXP user flames Win9X user, this site will get a bad reputation. I had a few kids who visit my gaming site complain that they can't g

If you need more info, I can provide it.. Remember the image file is nothing more than data on a disk. There are government Databases that are managed which are larger than your image files. So You could, in theory make an large scale image editor or processor based on the same data retreival and update algorithms that is used to process databases. But I'm not a developer so what do I know? If you like I'll write the routine in VB to satisfy your curiousity. (14 year old kids l

bakerstreet.. Here is an example of how a large image can be edited... I'm going to make a few assumptions to simplify my example. Assume the image is a bitmap. 1 The image header is stored in the file and usually in RGB format. So you can calculate the number of horizontal bytes per scan line. 2 You can open the file read the header and create a virtual windows for reading the graphics data and displaying it on screen dynamically. 3 you Can write a r

Frogboy, "if I weren't an "adult" I would have already exiled you from this site for being so obnoxious. It is my "adult"ness that allows you to have the ability to spout out your rather incomplete knowledge of operating system technology. Suspecting that you're a kid doesn't make me look like an "ass". I suspect most people would agree with me that guessing that you're a kid is a pretty good guess." I haven't expressed any knowledge of operating system technology. I'm merely e

Hey.. I don't pretend to know what you use your computer for..Just like I don't pretend to be knowledgable of your age and credentials.. (I've learned from watching you look like an ass, not to do that.) Sure, you probably should be using an OS with better Memory management. WinXP is probably for you, but remember you are not the majority of computer users. You, Like me are a small percent

I'll only address the adults from all these responses.. pipowell, I understand the memory limits of the Win9x series. But I can't understand why I need 1 GIG of RAM. Furthermore, has anyone considered that buying a 2Ghz machine could damage the computer industry.. Why would you *EVER* need to buy a new machine? (unless it broke) Thus, putting the computer industry in dangerous economic situation. Although, I'm sure there will still idiots like bakerstreet buying the 1

Silly people.. bakerstreet: "I'm 32, and have owned computers since I was 12. I don't buy machines, I build them. 3 of which are within arm's reach, each running 3 entirely different OS. It is easy for little 'ole me to see how goofy you are, and Frogboy is eons past me in expertise. Anyone spouting slashdot propaganda while using ME is in serious need of help. I suggest finding yourself a linux board and duking it out with people who are more anxious to have the kind

Jafo I would say from your response that you just believe what other people say instead of seeing for yourself. I've written and entire video game engine & editor on Windows ME. The GDI engine appear to be just as stable as Win98. Furthermore, I've already posted bugs on this forum that aren't OS specific. (Like duplicate registry keys create by ObjectBar and Component Tray.) If you guys were really paying attention to the software, wouldn't you have found that issue b

bakerstreet... "Granted, you may edge him out on the 'cutting and pasting pointless facts' thing. I'm anxious to see how that turns out for ya." Pointless facts? Do you even know what the FSB is on a computer? Do you even know how a computer works.. How old are you? I don't know Frogboy.. just like he didn't know me.. Assuming I was 14 made him look like an idiot. I am just sick of all the XP users pretending like they never had Win98 and bashing people that still use

Where do I begin.. Fuzzy Logic, Every time a nonXP user posts a problem some XPuser tells him to upgrade. That is *NOT* support.. That's being a jerk. I'm never going XP, I'll go Linux first. But I'm technically proficient enough to defend Win9x users from Microsoft clones that haven't research the OS properly. Shakey.. The first 10 months of 2002.Ha! Maybe because XP an .Net services haven't spread as much as Microsoft expects.. Have you seen the lovely security

Oh.. an another thing.. "When a brand new 2Ghz machine with 512MB of RAM with Windows XP Pro preinstalled is less than $700 it's pretty hard to talk about ram hogs." You obviously don't know much about computers.. The computer industry is raping your poor little minds and pockets.. Electronics must work together to perform properly. When you buy a computer you look at CPU speed. But there are other factors that govern the computers *OVERALL* SPEED. Like the front side

WinXP users... You guys are all foolish.. You want to see a performance drop? Try installing XP on your original Win95 machine. (300MHz or lower) And you'll see the OS is slow as shit. I'm a WinME user..haha Yea... You guys are saying! WinME? - That's the worse version of Windows ever! But: Did you ever think that most of Windows problems were SETUP issues? I'm a software developer, and I *KNOW* I can setup WinXP to run like crap. And I've p

Ha! Why shouldn't you upgrade to WinXP? I am a professional Developer so I can tell you a few reasons.. 1. Memory Resource HOG! Windows has gotten slower and slower over the years. You just don't know it because you bought 2Ghz PCs with over 512MB Ram. 2. Security.. (That speaks for itself when it comes to Microsoft.) 3. Lack of Customizations. Sure these apps customize the GUI. But as a developer I like to customize my entire OS. So it can do what I

Hey.. I'm not here to argue about which OS is best. I use Win2K at work and it is very stable. I use ME because the Plug & Play features haev run flawless for me.. (You do realize its just 98se with some multi-media stuff.) On 2K & XP.. They are both very nice OS's but they are primarily for business use. The design handle games very well, and XP has a horde of driver compatibili
