    >>How do i make text different colors?
    It depends on your compiler.

    >>How do i make a password without it always equaling true?
    What? Maybe you should show some code if you're having trouble.

    >>How do i make a beep or click without
    Playsound c:\\mydocu~1\\beep.wav?
    cout <<"\a" <<endl; might make a beep.

    No, all answers to the board please.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    Don't you mean, it depends on your IDE?

    conio.h is a nonstandard header. You might have it but I dont. with perhaps a small search of these boards the answer to the colourring of text will become apparent.
    Free the weed!! Class B to class C is not good enough!!
    And the FAQ is here :- http://faq.cprogramming.com/cgi-bin/smartfaq.cgi

    The "cout << "\a";"
    gets parse error before string constant. Where can i get the conio.h info and i just what to have a password file that outputs a message if the password is correct.
