I wish to transfer a small amount of data from one Win32 exe to another Win32 exe. The code I've written uses TTCPServer and TTCPConnect components. It works when compiled using Delphi 7 but fails when compiled using Delphi 2009. In both cases I've run the programs on Windows XP machines. To...

I am thinking of upgrading from Delphi 2009 to Delphi XE. As I am retired, I shall have to pay for it myself. Therefore, I would like to know the experiences of any Delphi XE users. Are the enhancements over Delphi 2009 worth having? Are the TMSControls offered with the upgrade any good? Is...

Can anyone tell me how to remove the CD drive from a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 laptop, please? Andrew Hampshire, UK

I bought Delphi 2005 Professional shortly after it became available in the UK. It seemed to be a bit unstable. A few weeks afterwards my hard disk completely crashed and when I replaced the hard disk I only installed Delphi 7. I would now like to use Delphi 2005 Professional - it cost me...

I have never been able to get Delphi to compress a jpeg image. I set CompressionQuality to any value and then call Compress but the file is always saved with a length of zero bytes. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? (It fails, for me, with Delphi 5 and Delphi 7). uses jpeg...
