So I did it : I had to program a plugin for an internal tool, had to use legacy C code and extend it, programmed it using VS2013 - the last time I had to compile something, it contained MFC  - Well all good, and ... no stable Release. So I deployed the ... Debug version. Bad bad me.
It has all to do with some heap memory allocation as it seems (even after 10 years, some things you do not forget), maybe even some collision between oldskool C style calloc and new C++ style, plus I suppose the legacy code was not exempt of bugs either, but the ratio debugging time / nb users is tending to 10^10, so I took the easy path. 
I know I eventually rewrite it completely, but that time has not come.

I have had a bit of a mare with a Win7 box not booting so I have dragged an elderly Dell that had 7 stuffed on it. It boots fine however it will not see the network most everything else is on. Go probing around in Device Mangler find it can't see the network adaptor as it has lost the driver... Do I pop down to PC World to see if I can get another with a CD (these days everything is on the web which the irony strikes you what if you can't) or look for it on the web???

For the price of a cheap 'uns, I'd go get a new one...at this stage you don't know if it's lost the driver because cards broken, or what.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Why not get a cheap usb wireless card so you can use it elsewhere?..assuming you have wireless of coarse.

I had a similar problem with an old desktop's network adapter and instead used this[^]. Got me up and running in no time!

Well I see you've all carried on nicely without me.

Hooooooooooooooooooooooooly crap it's alive! 
I'm thinking of a joke you once made, "I'm pretty nervous, but what's the worst that could happen? I could die up here man..."
I was worried that might actually have happened.

Not dead yet, nope. I forgot about that bit. Still doing comedy, a weekly open mic and just started a monthly showcase. If any of you folks are ever in Chicago...

I think Adele - Hello - YouTube[^] is the one you are looking for. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

I prefer the Derek and Clive version, but it's definitely not Lounge material.

I prefer the Kevin Wilson version, but that's not even You-tube suitable, let alone Lounge!

I'm sorry sir, I missed that. Can you repeat what you just said?

FOUR double seven three one zero four, did you get it then?
That one's not bad either!
I was thinking of "Hello John". None of which is SFW!

Nothing wrong with that video[^].
SFW, if slightly insane.

I think this - Adele - Hello (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli) - YouTube[^] - is a much better version.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
