I created a new project, included the DirectX libs, includes, and headers, and I tried to compile the third program in Chapter 6 ... it didn't work. Here's the error it gave me:
demo6_3.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectDraw4
Debug/directx.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.
Do any of ya know how to fix this problem?

In your include and lib directory settings, make sure that the DirectX SDK directories are at the top. VC++ comes with DirectX 3 headers and libs, so it''ll find those first and try to use them unless you put the SDK directories at the top of the list.

no... I just lifted the code right off of the CD that came with the book, but I don't see that anywhere in the code.
