I might be missing something here, but I feel I should point out that DWORD is an integer type, not a string type.
More info here.

You don't have a std::string you have an array of char (presumably zero terminated.

If GetPrivateprofi leInt doesn't work for you try atoi.

yeah i solved it ^^

DWORD dPointer = GetPrivateProfileInt("GENERAL","PointerName", NULL,"./Settings.ini");

what i missed when i read was that the read function was a string and not a int ^^
