    As me and Steve are both qualified computer and network engineers feel free to ask anything in this thread. This can also include any queries about how to make your own website (I can teach you HTML, XHTML with CSS, PHP, SQL, C++, flash action script, Java, Javascript or anything like that via PM if anyone wants as well as tell you how to best use meta tags and cookies etc) or just general computer problems (computer running too slow, viruses and how to beat them, fans making too much noise etc etc)

    I can teach you some basic java but actually making a mmorpg would require months of work. It would also require you having some knowledge of sql and xhtml in the cases you have described and probably some flash. o.O

    How much do you guys know about basic programming already?

    Whenever I open it, it loads normally until it loads the plug-ins and then Vista says that every plug-in has stopped working one plug-in at a time

    ah no, I mean go to wherever it was you installed it and right click on the file that is the program itself. It will have the gimp logo on it and will probably be called something like gimp or gimp v2.0 or something along those lines. Once you right click on it there should be a menu about compatability or something like that in which you can ask it to open the program as if it is in windows xp. That might sort out your problem

    well if you are sure don't do it. I am telling you now that the gimp is not compatible with Vista yet and that what I am suggesting might work but if you know better then don't do it, I don't really care.

    I was not being mean, I just like having a laugh. And sql is just a way of keeping a database. This forum uses sql to keep our posts and user names and everything else, and so does my forum. I am trying to make my forum more efficiant at the moment because it takes too long to load.

    "C:\Program Files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.4.exe" is where your gimp file is as a default Dark Flame99966, right click and all that I said before and see if it works.
