    Well for starters you will need the Direct X libraries by Patrice Scribe. You can find them everywhere, its very popular. Second you've gotta learn DirectAPI which includes Direct3D, DirectPlay, DirectSound, etc. Try the Microsoft Direct X SDK. It has lots of documentation, on starting in multimedia programming. If you want any snippets I can send you some DX compatible games that I have created. Or read some of the posts where I have mentioned my code on DirectSound.

    No you *don't* need the libraries by Patrice Scribe: MS have released their own DX7 type library (it comes with DX7)
    as for learning it, ddraw is easy , dinput is too, dsound is easy, and d3d is hard cos u need to think in 3d
    buzzwords are the language of fools
