how do i use the profiler that comes with MSVC6? i already made a .pbi file, then i ran the profiler and it did nothing..

You should activate the option "Activate profiler" in the menu Project, Options, Linker.

Then you can start it with "Run", "Profile"

OK, well, I''ll take it from the top.

1. Go into VC++ 6 and load your project.

2. Right click on project files and the link tab, then click enable profiling.

3. Go to the build menu and re-build all.

4. Go to the build menu and click ''profile''.

5. In the window that pops up, select function timing (as an example).

6. Look in the window at the bottom (build/debug etc...)
