okay every time i run CoCreateInstance to setup DirectPlay, it freezes my program and the compiler its running under. Anyone know why?


    if ( FAILED( CoInitialize( NULL ) ) )
    {
        return error( 2 );
    }

    if ( FAILED( CoCreateInstance( CLSID_DirectPlay, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IDirectPlay3A, ( void * * )&dplay.pdp ) ) )
    {
        CoUninitialize();
        return error( 1 );
    }

    CoUninitialize();

Check out the fifth parameter you typed:

if ( FAILED( CoCreateInstance( CLSID_DirectPlay, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IDirectPlay3A, ( void * * )&dplay.pdp ) ) )

Did you mean to type &dplay.pdp? Why the insertion point? "pdp" is not a member variable or function of the IDirectPlay3A interface. Also, if you are using DirectX 7, IDirectPlay4A is the newest interface if you are interested.
