However, since you are using Delphi 6 the StrPCopy code should be yielding the same thing as that constant declaration.
I've also just noticed that your call to the API passes bufferr directly. I am surprised this even compiles with the declaration for the API function as provided in the code. This indicates that a pointer to a buffer is required, but you are passing the buffer itself: receive:=API_PCDRead(0,0,$00,10,1,key,bufferr); vs (I would expect): receive:=API_PCDRead(0,0,$00,10,1,key,@bufferr[0]); Do you have a reference to the documentation for the API you are using ? That will tell us what the API is expecting which might in turn point to the problem in the code. Without that we are pretty much shooting in the dark.
