When I run Purebasic on Vista I get this error.

PureBasic - Linker error

POLINK: fatal error: Access is denied.

What's wrong?

This is great but what I'd like to know is, what is the largest number I could deal with in my original function. Is there a way get it do deal with larger (real) numbers and not output a string.

ps. Why did you declare a global variable and then reference it in the procedure. That's not a great ...

I'm trying to perfect a factoral function.

Procedure.q Factoral(n.l)
If n >= 0
If n > 0
Define answer.q = 1
While n > 0
answer = answer * n
n - 1
Wend
ProcedureReturn answer
Else
ProcedureReturn 1
EndIf
Else
ProcedureReturn -1
EndIf
EndProcedure

When I use a number greater than 20 I ...

That doesn't explain why PeekL(a()-8) returns the bounds of the array. Why does it work technically?

What does the code do?

DB

But why does this work?

Let the computer do the work. What about this?
Procedure.s RGB2Hex(R.l,G.l,B.l)
ProcedureReturn Hex(Red(RGB(R,G,B)))+Hex(Green(RGB(R,G,B)))+Hex(Blue(RGB(R,G,B)))
EndProcedure

Debug RGB2Hex(36,104,160)
OR
Procedure.s RGB2Hex(RGB.l)
ProcedureReturn Hex(Red(RGB))+Hex(Green(RGB))+Hex(Blue(RGB ...

How?

Can PB be installed on a USB drive so I can take it with me to work or school?

This is more of a trend now.

Can you be more specific? I know nothing about working with the registry.

Thanks.

I have a problem with my ME registry. If a program queries the environment variables for the Documents Folder it returns this value:
DocumentsFolder: ::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}

How does one repair this? That value is a CLSID. I'm not sure why it would return that instead of the My ...

I'm now trying Kubuntu, which is KDE. I like it. Perhaps it is a good place to start. I took a test online and they came up with 4 I should try.

Xandros was too resource heavy (according to them) and was not a good choice for a laptop.

Their other choices:

Madriva
Ubuntu
OpenSuse

Will Kubuntu ...

I like Ubuntu. It loads quicker than Freespire. It was hard to get PureBasic running with it and I'm not sure all the libraries are loaded. I think now that it is out and more free versions that you can try first on CD will make Linux more popular. I've been waiting to install a viable Linux when I ...

Ubuntu? Is that because it is GNOME? It seems KDE has more settings available for the system.

I don't want to start anything, but I've been looking over the distros of Linux for my ME latptop (to give it new life). It is still in good shape but won't do much since ME is out of date.

I installed Ubuntu on it and it works great (even recognized and signed onto the wireless net over the ...

Thanks. It finally is running. Can't wait for PB4 in Linux.

With these new distros I think the demand for PB in Linux will go up. I've been waiting since Linux came out for a distrobution that I could just load without having to go on a driver hunt. This is my first time loading Linux on a Windows ...
