Anyone,
I'm still having trouble with the RegQueryInfoEx API! This is driving me nucking futs! Your help is apprechiated; here's a portion of my source

.......I get an error saying that it "can't find the specified file", which I believe it's reffering to the Key_Name. I dunno.......
Blah,
*unknown*Well it's hard to say,
if that error is at the beginning of the file i would say change your pointer names, may be the compiler is irritated by those,
to open the registry key, try RegCreateKey/KeyEx i had a problem with RegOpenkey too.
If it doesn't work send me the whole source via mail, i see what i can do...
So far hope that helps,
Olli
....no chief, I tried RegCreateKeyEx too. You're right about the pointers though, although it's me that's confused....not the compiler. If someone could explain to me the different pointers used in the Reg API's I'd apprechiate it alot.......
Who said that?
*unknown*
please post your complete code so i can take a look at it.

Im not to keen with Registry stuff, but studying the API reference, i see one possible problem...
The RegQueryValueEx API states:
lpcbData
Points to a variable that specifies the size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by the lpbData parameter. When the function returns, this variable contains the size of the data copied to lpbData.
If the buffer specified by lpbData parameter is not large enough to hold the data, the function returns the value ERROR_MORE_DATA, and stores the required buffer size, in bytes, into the variable pointed to by lpcbData.
If lpbData is NULL, and lpcbData is non-NULL, the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS, and stores the size of the data, in bytes, in the variable pointed to by lpcbData. This lets an application determine the best way to allocate a buffer for the value key's data.
Your Buffer that you point to is a DWORD, which is 4 bytes at best, but you pass a reference to the Query (KeySize) which gives indication that the buffer size is 200 bytes long.. This might confuse the M$ monster machine, or at least it could fill data over your error message (ERROR data value), giving you random results for an error message.
I would clean it up to this, and de-bug some more:
.data
KeySize dd 200
.data?
...
hKey dd ?
Key_Value dd 201 DUP (?)
Key_Type dd ?
Error dd ?
.code
all the same...
.......so last night I tried just using NULL and it worked. It makes sense after I read what NaN posted, but at the time it seemed odd.
Thanx for the help guys,
