I have two ideas. The first is that in my input class, I use LDIRECTINPUT instead of LPDIRECTINPUT8. There may not even be a directinput8 object. I use dx8 too.

Do you have the dinput8.lib library linked? whats happening is that it doesn''t recognise the LPDIRECTINPUT object which is in the dinput header and library.

I had tried to use LDIRECTINPUT instead of LPDIRECTINPUT8,
but same error message appeared ~~~~

pS I LINKED TO BOTH dxguid.lib & dinput8.lib IN MY PROJECT ~~

There''s an article a few days ago in sweet something about the dierct input getting running. Use the code from there, and check if its the same. If it isn''t, fix it. If it still doesn''t work, restart your computer. A few days ago I couldn''t get direct input up and running because it wouldn''t let me link for some reason. After restarting, it worked fine. If the problem still continues, maybe try installing the 8.1, not 8 version of the dxsdk. Otherwise, your computer must be screwed up.

I noticed that you are using drive D:. Where is your SDK installed, I believe prior to 8.1 it was installed under MSSDK and it is know under DXSDK. Are you compilier options for header files, and DLL pointing to the correct place. Do you have multiple installs of the SDK?

To kmsixpence:
I restart my computer, but the error didn''t solved ~~~ and i tried to compile the simple given by DX8SDK (about direct input) same error here ~~ so, maybe i need to install DX8.1 SDK. THX

To sdoherty55:
Yes i installed the DX8 sdk in c:, but i had added the path of include and lib of the DX8 SDK to VC++. But i installed DX8 and DX7 SDK in same driver (C
