Hi I have an odd problem. I use Direct Input for keyboard and mouse support and it works fine. You can move along the worlds look up and down etc, but then after a while the program crashes and when I intercept the crash with Visual Studio it shows me that when trying to get the keyboards or mouses state it crashes. Notice: It works fine for a while, but then suddenly crashes. Does might know why this occurs. I check the pointers and references to the device, but could not find any errors there. If anyone can give some tips, I will be gratefull. Thank you for any help.

Have you used debug DirectX runtime to see what debug spew DirectInput writes? If the pointer to the device is still good, what''s the error code/exception code returned by GetDeviceState()?

Ok stupid question, but how do I enable DirecX debug mode so that it works in VS .NET. I did install the Debug version of DX when I installed the SDK, but don''t yet know how to enable it. I allso did marked a debug stated in the controal panels DX optionsm, but well dunno...

try

if(FAILED(Keyboard->GetDeviceState(sizeof(buffer),(LPVOID)&buffer))){    Keyboard->Acquire();    Keyboard->GetDeviceState(sizeof(buffer),(LPVOID)&buffer);}
