I have read and reread the instructions a million times.. any clues or help? I have scoured the boards cannot find any reference to this error

dinput.h was taken from the The Microsoft DirectX 8.1b Software Development Kit

The full SDK is available from www.microsoft.com

You can either go the long route and install the SDK, which wouldn't solve your problem , or just fix the include reference
make sure the dXsdk81 folder was created when you unzipped the source too.

Thanks for the help.. .wihen i download the source no dXsdk81 directory is created.. what path do i create this folder in? c:\mq?

oh and where do i insert that line of code? ::

And lastly does it matter that I have directx9.0c?

Thanks for the help.. .wihen i download the source no dXsdk81 directory is created.. what path do i create this folder in? c:\mq?

It's in the zip. If it's not being created you're using a crappy unzipper or using it incorrectly.

Um sorry musta smoked myself stupid.. had the check off create directories in winzip.. heh blush
