Can lib files be compiler specific. Like in VC6 I get the error message that the lib is corrupt. A lib file that I just baught. Its meant for Dev-C++ could that be the problem? -CProgrammer

you bought a lib file for dev-c++?
Dev C++ uses .a files instead of .lib. I don't know what Borland uses.
Oh sorry I mean Borland.
But why wint it work with vc6?
They're proprietary format.

Do a search on [google], you'll find utilities to help.
Borland's .lib file format differs to Microsoft's version and thus they're incompatibile. I don't know if there's a converter around.
Well I checked with google but could only find vc to borland. Nothing for borland to vc. Darn.

I tried LoadLibraryEx and yes that works but seems to crash after I do llike 20 calls.

What's the library you're trying to use?
k8055d.dll.
There must be some kind of converter. Or someone who knows how should make one.
