I"m having these 3 errors after compiling a basic directdraw program.. Error1: DD1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _DirectDrawCreateEx@16 referenced in function "int __cdecl Init(struct HINSTANCE__ *,int)" (?Init@@YAHPAUHINSTANCE__@@H@Z) Error2: DD1 error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectDraw7 Error3: DD1 fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals What does they mean? I''m using the VC++.net. Is that something wrong with my setting of the project?

Looks like you forgot to include the ddraw.lib file in your project. At least I _think_ that''s the name of the file for the direct draw functions, since it was a time since I used it. You also need to #include <ddraw.h> somewhere in your project.

You need to have ddraw.lib and dxguid.lib linked. Well, actually, if you are using INITGUID then you only need to link ddraw.lib
