Its not even getting to that part because.. it errors before then.. so thats not an issue here.. Besides in that area I check to see if keyboard input was lost and if it is I re-aquire.

currently it goes like this WinMain -> Window Object -> CreateWindow -> Initialize game object sending window HWND and HINSTANCE -> Initialize DirectInput stuff -> Inlitialize Direct3D stuff -> back to window... -> Then if all goes correct it starts to render.. every frame

but its dieing at the initialize direct input stuff part...
I just put a breakpoint and walked into it.. it seems the HR result returned from trying to aquire keyboard returns with "access denied?" wtf?
here is my directinput class..

How weird, your init code looks almost the same as mine - does something else have exclusive lock on the keyboard?

Reboot your PC and clear out the /Software/Microsoft/DirectInput registry tree.

ok i tried this..

g_lpDIDevice->SetCooperativeLevel(hWnd, DISCL_BACKGROUND | DISCL_NONEXCLUSIVE);


yet.. now it works this is really bazarr 0.0


it must be my keyboard type, or somthing?? I did buy this keyboard after I got the comp because my old one sucked... and i disliked the way the keys were put on it lol.... maybe this keyboard just sucks or somthing?


either way the keyboard input works *now trys to see if it works on freinds comps yet*
