If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.
We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

Re: Won't Launch
Which operating system are you running? What version of GZDoom?
Re: Won't Launch
You must use Windows XP with Service Pack 3 or greater in order to use the current version of GZDoom. If you continue getting this error then your installation is clearly corrupt as it is not finding the DirectInput files which have been standardized since then. If you are getting this error on Windows Server, ensure that the "Desktop" role is installed and activated.
