You need to link to dxguid.lib.
Quick Google search turned up this that suggests also linking with dxguid.lib in addition to dinput8.lib.

[edit]Yeah, that.[/edit]

Include the dxguid.lib library file.

Edit: Wow, maybe I should refresh before replying after letting it sit for 10 minutes.
hi as everyone said ,, include the dxguid.lib library file and than cross schek if you have set the cooperative level right for the mouse and the keyboard, just check with the syntacx as they keep on changing with every version of directX
