MySQL .Net Connector Error 2869 on Windows VISTA

I’ve solved an error I had while installing the .net connector of MySQL on windows VISTA.

The solution that I found on the MySQL website was to run the command prompt in administrator mode and run the setup from there.
it worked with me, & I hope it does the same for u

Windows Vista Boot (Add or Remove)

I’ve just fixed my computer’s boot system & saved my self 48 hrs of reinstalling a system.
I”ll take this chance to explain about the Vista’s Boot manager (either removing it or Deleting it)
I currently have a dual boot of windows XP & VISTA
my XP for some reason crashed so I had to repair it, which rewrote the bootsector & over written the VISTA’s boot sector. so I couldn’t load windows VISTA.
The recovery stuff that u can find when u boot from the windows VISTA DVD were the way to solve it (add VISTA to the boot) not the startup recovery, but the command line

A reasonable solution for serious Game Programming

There is a very reasonable solution if u seriously want to consider game programming, I dont advise making ur own engine, unless u just want to learn, but its never a good idea to use it for production, coz u’ll need years of hard work to make a technology that is several years old when its done.
Simply u can buy or get an engine for free (there are several economical & free engines on the net), concentrate in the game u want to make, & leave the engine issues to the engine programmers.
Even when they make a new version of it, u wont have any hard time updating ur game.
Current game markets are in serious needs for original ideas (I KNOW, I”M FOLLOWING THAT MARKET ) so if u want to succeed in this business, u’ll have to offer what it needs.
Dont reinvent the wheel if u want to make money, coz whatever u do ur wheel wont be more circular than the existing ones
