Make sure to link the libraries. I not sure, but I think it''s "d3d9.lib" for Direct3D and "dsound9.lib" for DirectSound. If you use VisualC++, go to Project-->Settings--Linker and enter the library names.

Hope that helps!

Or if you''re using VC++, you could also write:

#pragma comment( lib, "d3d9.lib" )#pragma comment( lib, "dsound9.lib" )

and it would accomplish the same thing as putting these libraries in the project settings dialog box, but I prefer this method, as I can copy the code to a new project and don''t have to worry about libraries and such.

yah dude, REMEMBER wut they said, i spent all yesterday working on the same exact problem, and it was not the first time id had it, trust me u will forget, write it down somewhere

When General Patton died after World War 2 he went to the gates of Heaven to talk to St. Peter. The first thing he asked is if there were any Marines in heaven. St. Peter told him no, Marines are too rowdy for heaven. He then asked why Patton wanted to know. Patton told him he was sick of the Marines overshadowing the Army because they did more with less and were all hard-core sons of bitches. St. Peter reassured him there were no Marines so Patton went into Heaven. As he was checking out his new home he rounded a corner and saw someone in Marine Dress Blues. He ran back to St. Peter and yelled "You lied to me! There are Marines in heaven!" St. Peter said "Who him? That's just God. He wishes he were a Marine."
