Windows Audio Problems

Ever had this problem in Windows, where you can't hear any sound & you get the following message...
There are no active mixer devices available. To install mixer devices, Go to Control Panel and Other Hardware, and then click ADD HARDWARE.

Solving it is quite simple, just go to the Start menu & select Run... then type in services.msc.

In the Window which then appears on screen, scroll down & find Windows Audio then click start.

SDL_gfx-2.0.21

I've compiled the latest version of SDL_gfx for any Windows users who need it.

If you just want the DLL & library then download this. If however you'd also like the Code::Blocks project as well, download this.

CodeLite IDE

Today I was looking at the Wikipedia page for the GCC compiler & I noticed there was a section listing the different IDE's you can use with it. Most of them I'd already used such as Dev-C++ & Code::Blocks but I noticed one which I hadn't seen before called CodeLite.


I've spent the past few hours using it & have found it to be quite useful, it's a lot like Code::blocks but a bit simpler to use.

Installing KeePass for Ubuntu

Recently I've just installed the new version of Ubuntu on my system. In Windows I use KeePass to remember all the different passwords I use on the Internet. I was wondering whether there was a version of the program for Ubuntu & there was. Just type the following in a terminal window if you want to install it too.

sudo apt-get install keepassx


Advanced Windows Console

If you're looking for a replacement to the ordinary Windows Command Prompt then you should give this a try.
