I've just noticed that when i start the test program with numlock enabled,
the numbers
won't be shown until i disable numlock (which is not right)
but if i start my allegro test program with numlock disabled, then the
numbers won't
be shown until numlock is enabled (which is right)...

i think that allegro, no matter how numlock is at the start of the program,
always think
numlock is disabled...

Ideally, you should just have to add your DirectX Include/Lib directories to the Directories unter 'Extras' -> 'Options' -> 'Directories'.
Just make sure that the DX dirs are listed *before* the MSVC dirs. MSVC 6 ships with DX3 or DX5 in a newer series. Of your MSVC dirs are in
the list before the DX dirs, the compiler & linker will look in the MSVC dirs first and use the old DX3/5 files.
