Under windows, im using visual c++ 2010. Im using qwerty layout microsoft
keyboard. Im using defines but i cant get. So i used debug tool and
investigate the keycode when i release a key(ALLEGRO_EVENT_KEY_UP). And i
found those values. definied keycode is 75 but when i release space key,
allegro event system returns 74 as keycode. And my program cant work.

Message:
Which platform is this? And which language and which keyboard layout are
you using?

Also, what are those numbers? Do you mean the value of ALLEGRO_KEY_SPACE is
different each time?

It should always be 75 (although that's not guaranteed, you're supposed to
use the define):
