I didn't know where to post it, and didn't want to create a new thread for it, but I was wondering what the best first programming language to learn? I was thinking about Basic or C#. Anyone have any thoughts?

Firstly what do you intend to do in programming ? And which Basic are you talking?

 

[Chewie]

Visual Basic. I dunno. Just so I have something to do.

@deathrevenge9 Those sites are blocked in Pakistan. Secret Access might help you.

Secret Access - Anonymous proxy - surf the Web privately and securely

vb.net right?
do you target only windows? then i would prefer c# over vb.net
if not java is the best option although it should be a little difficult than c# and vb.net but the same app will run over any os with jre installed
if you want to program something about games in future c/c++ is the best

 

[Chewie]

Are all the C languages similar?

My friend is having one strange problem. He has Win XP as his OS. He says that if he goes to Tools -> Folder Options -> View tab and click on Show hidden files and folders check box and after clicking OK.....it again resets back to Do not show Hidden files and folder ...

So now he's unable to view all the folders/files he has hidden. Whats the problem and solution?

IIRC he was able to visit those sites by ease before.

I am having a problem with my speakers.
They are only playing the music from media players and aren't playing any sound while viewing youtube videos or playing games on PC.
Does somebody have a solution?

 

[Chewie]

Do you have Windows 7?

 

[Gurjot95]

This is very common issue. Check if the sound device is selected right (generally there is no sound device selected in this case)

 

[Chewie]

If you are on Win 7, click on the speaker icon in your system tray, then click on mixer. Check that the volume isn't muted for those particular applications

No, windows XP media center edition.

 

[Chewie]

oh not sure what it could be then because I don't have it.
