hi ,

thanks Tim , but the msgbox still was'nt showing untill i removed the
MB_ICONERROR flag.

It seems if i try putting any MB_ICON<type> , the msgbox does'nt
show! Wierd.

anyway , its fine without the icon! ;)

and i got how to download a message from my address and show it!!!

#define MESSAGE_ADDRESS http://somesite.com/message.txt
#define TMP_PATH "C:\\temp.txt"
..................
void GetSettings()
{
    char temp[2];
    URLDownloadToFile(NULL,MESSAGE_ADDRESS,TMP_PATH, 0,NULL);
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen(TMP_PATH ,"r");
    if(fp!=NULL)
    {
        fgets(the_message , 200 , fp);
        fgets(temp , 2 , fp);
        show_at = 60 * atoi(temp);
    }
    fclose(fp);
    DeleteFile(TMP_PATH);
}

i should popup a msg box every 2 MINUTES saying "windows....HATES YOU"

also , i added a little *feature* when if you hit CTRL 5 times it
exits..

When i run it debugged , the message box does'nt SHOW , i hear the
SOUND, but i dont see the msgbox.

You are creating a hidden main window, and you are starting up the message
box as a child of that hidden window. You can try passing 0 as the parent
window for the message box.
