-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

All messages are reported as unknown, and LoadString() failures are reported
under the debug kernel of Windows. The makefile for the HOOKS sample in the
Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 Software Development Kit (SDK) contains two errors
that prevent the proper reporting of hook messages.

CAUSE
=====

The parameters to the resource compiler are incorrect in the makefile, and the
.RES file is missing from one set of dependencies.

RESOLUTION
==========

Line 68 of MAKEFILE reads as follows:

     $(DLLNAME).dll: $(DLLSRCS:.c=.obj) $(DLLNAME).def

Change it to read as follows:

     $(DLLNAME).dll: $(DLLSRCS:.c=.obj) $(DLLNAME).def $(DLLNAME).res

Line 95 of MAKEFILE reads as follows:

     $(RC) -T $(DLLNAME).dll $(DLLNAME).res

Change it to read as follows:

     $(RC) -T $(DLLNAME).res $(DLLNAME).dll

STATUS
======

This problem has been corrected in Visual C++.
