I have created a ''room'' (cube) with some textures on it and put a light in the upper right corner... with the mouse you can look around. The problem is that while looking around a texture i look away from becomes darker and visa versa. In a game this should really not happen! How can I prevent this? The brightness of a texture should only be infected by the distance between the light and the texture and not by the direction the ''camera'' is looking in... If you need the a little code, ill post it but maybe someone knows the awnser without any code .... well thx anyway!

Try repositioning the light per frame, but before moving the camera. (I assume your camera movement comes before all the code you posted).
Also, did you mean to overfill(?) the diffuse color? Try:

    float LightDiffuse[] = {1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f};
