i recently bought a new laptop with vista home premium installed and I regret it bitterly. It is the most user unfriendly version of windows. Having had windows all the way up from 95 i considered myself fairly conversant with computers but this is impossible. have microsoft shot themselves in the foot this time? Are we users of vista victims of 'friendly fire'?

I'm attempting to write a program where part of it is to open a file, read a file, add to file, save file, etc. For each of these we need to make seperate functions. In my function for opening a file, I keep hitting a compiling wall that says my parameters are clashing with the line ifstream fin;
My problem is that I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get it to work. Here's the piece of code I have so any help would be amazing!

int openFile(ifstream &fin)
{
char filename[25];
cout << "Please input the file name.\n";
ifstream fin;
cin >> filename;
fin.open(filename);
cout << "File is loaded.\n";

return 0;
}

I've had a recent problem with my mouse being able to break the extreme borders of the desktop (occasionally left, sometimes right); I've adjusted my monitor, an E176FP flatscreen from Dell, to appropriate settings (res 1280x1024x32, refresh rate at 60), but my mouse is still able to head off the screen (taking its time getting back).
The problem is irritating, and support hasn't been able to troubleshoot my problem.
