Cannot convert parameter

I seem to be the only one getting these errors. I followed TheForger's WinAPI tutorial and I get these errors like "cannot convert parameter # from const char to LPCWSTR". I can convert it and get around by adding an L before the quotation but i hate doing this for every function. Im using VC++ 2008 express edition. Are these errors normal and is there a way to avoid them?

I believe there is a project setting you can change to not use unicode. Check all the project settings.

I have the same problem.

I have the same suggestion.

Thanks for the tip but i cant seem to find the properties page to turn off unicode.

Hmm... I don't have a copy of VC++ 2008, but I got this from a Google search: "Select menu item Project --> Properties --> expand Configuration Properties --> General. In the pane on the right, the third item from the bottom, change "Character Set" option to "Not Set""
