Jeopardy Challenger ready for download!
clemon79:
Well, I've been wrapping up many a loose end this weekend, and my first foray into Visual C++ is ready to be played with! Anyone who has an interest is welcome to head over to http://fredsmythe.com, click the Downloads link, and pick up my Jeopardy Challenger For Windows and see how you like it!
I know it'll work on Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP. I am not totally sure about '95, and you _might_ have to have the .NET Framework installed on your machine, which you do if you have been keeping current with Windows Update like a good user should. :)
Feedback, of course, is welcome, especially if you spot a bug of some kind. (Also, if the button labels don't render on your machine properly, I want to know. I _THINK_ everyone has Arial Narrow, which is what I used for everything, but I could be wrong.) Once I'm satisfied that it's reasonably bulletproof and I get icons built for it and installed, I'll rev it to v1.0 and start thinking about upgrades. (First on the list will be stateful wager buttons...there will be a radio button pair for Single / Double Jeopardy and only one set of 5 wager buttons, and they will read $200-$1000 or $400-$2000 depending on which radio button you select.)
So, have a look!

That's the .NET Runtime, I think. You can get that at:
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-file...s.shtml?mscoree
Once you download the file, stick it in C:\Windows\System.
If anyone else gets this error, let me know, if we get enough of these I will put it on my site with the program so people can get 'em both in one fell swoop.

now it says \"Please set registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\.NETFramework\InstallRoot to point to the .NET Framework install location\"
how do i do that?

Okay, it seems that one needs the .NET Framework installed (which I mentioned was a possibility) for it to work, apparently just dropping in the DLL doesn't cut it. Sorry about that.
As I said, you can get it from Windows Update:
http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com
Or, you can download it from here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/dow...s/howtoget.aspx
Note that because it needs the .NET Framework, it WILL NOT WORK under Windows 95. (Quit complaining and upgrade, it's an eight-year old OS.)
