Access violation Message
Author
I am tring to compile a game I am making but I keep on getting a message box after compiling it on Visual C++ 6.0 . The message reads:
Unhandled exeption in Game.exe (D3D9.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access violation.
What does this mean? How can I fix it?
This means you are trying to access memory that doesn't belong to you. The most common culprit is dereferencing a NULL pointer. You should be able to drop into the debugger or step through your program at/up to the crash to see exactly what's going on.
Also, VC++ 6.0 is shit. Get 2005 Express Edition, it's free.

I already have express editions 2005 but some commands don't really work like
when I type in:
hWnd = CreateWindow("Main","Title",100,100,...);
the compiler says that I cannot parameter 1 and 2 into some sort of format.

hWnd = CreateWindow("Main","Title",100,100,...);

By default vs 2005 sets projects to use unicode character strings instead of multi-byte strings. You need to add L to the beginning of your string to make is unicode ie:
hWnd = CreateWindow(L"Main",L"Title",100,100,...);
Or you can use _T macro to change this based on the setting. So _T("Main") would work as well.
hWnd = CreateWindow(_T("Main"),_T("Title"),100,100,...);
Third option is to go into the project properties and set the string type to multibyte.
hWnd = CreateWindow(L"Main",L"Title",100,100,...);
