• Visual C++ Keyboard Input behavior

  Hello I don't seem to be able to receive more than one message WM_KEYDOWN from the keyboard without to have to click on another window then click back on my window and press a key.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Too many downloading for upgrading system in order to run vs express applications.
