OK

I have decided to go back and try this in vb seeing as creating windows and the like is much simpler

The only code I got to do this in VB doesn't work in Windows NT\XP though, why would this be?

Most of the code looks very similar to this c++ code, I don't know what I have to change to get it to work for me in XP. The only thing the vb code won't do for me is to actually close the window.
