Hey, how do you instanceiate the DirectBeepPattern object? I've tried
to do

lpDB->CreatePattern(NULL, &lpDBP, DBCP_BEEPALLTHETIME |
  DBCP_BEEPCONSTANT | DBCP_USETHEMOSTANNOYINGSOUNDPOSSIBLE |
  DBCP_BEEPALLCOMPUTERSINTHENETWORK | BCP_BEEPEVENIFREBOOTED);

But it will only return DBERR_WHYTHEFUCKDOYOUWANTTODOTHAT.

I don't know what to do! Help me please!
