When I do this: DirectInput8Create(GetModuleHandle(NULL), DIRECTINPUT_VERSION, IID_IDirectInput8A , (void**)&g_lpDI, NULL); it gives me the following error message: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectInput8A fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Why?? I am new to VC++ 6.0, thanks.

I think you have to add the DX8 *.lib-files to your project settings. When I remember it correctly it is Project/Setting... and than choose the "Linker" card. There you have to add the *.lib files.



The Wild Wild West - Desperado!

Two options:

1. At the top of your file, before you include any DirectX headers, #define INITGUID



2. Add dxguid.lib to your project.

Thanks to Kylotan for the idea!
