Alright, guys, i know i should be using direct input, but i don''t work on my own comp a lot and i can''t install dx, sooo... i''m writing my own wrapper for keyboard input, using just the general WM_KEYDOWN/KEYUP/SYSKEY etc., this way i can use my own typematic repeats when i want, if i want, at my own rate, w/o changing system parameters. all i need is the down and up messsage. just one of each. but my problem is that every once in awhile, the program misses a key break (release, goes up, etc.), and so that key stays in the down state until i hit and release it again. is it possible that it''s win32 missing the key breaks? i hope so, cuz it''s not my program then (good for my ego), but then again i hope not, cuz it means that i have to debug (who likes to debug), but even if it is, i still have to rewrite most of my wrapper, so that sucks even more...(sigh) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have no name that you may call me.

Windows uses buffered input to catch keyboard strokes, therefore it shouldn''t miss any strokes BUT it''s buffer can overload just as the DirectInput''s buffer can overload. But I think you would have to strike a lot of key''s within let''s say a ms.
