cannot convert parameter 2 from 'WORD' to 'LPCWSTR'

Resolution
     You will have to do one of two things:
     1、Change your project configuration to use multibyte strings. Press ALT+F7 to open the properties, and navigate to          Configuration Properties > General. Switch Character Set to "Use Multi-Byte Character Set".
     2、Indicate that the string literal, in this case "Hello world!" is of a specific encoding. This can be done through either prefixing it with L, such as L"Hello world!", or surrounding it with the generic _T("Hello world!") macro. The latter will expand to the L prefix if you are compiling for unicode (see #1), and nothing (indicating multi-byte) otherwise.
Variations
       Another error message, indicating the same problem, would be:
cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [12]' to 'LPCWSTR' Where LPCWSTR maps to a wchar_t pointer, regardless of your build configuration. This problem can be resolved primarily by using solution #2, but in some cases also #1. A lot of the Microsoft provided libraries, such as the Platform SDK, have got two variations of each function which takes strings as parameters. In case of a unicode build, the actual functions are postfixed W, such as the MessageBoxW seen above. In case of multi-byte, the function would be MessageBoxA (ASCII). Which of these functions is actually used when you compile your application, depends on the setting described in resolution #1 above.
