I keep getting ''unresolved external symbol _IID_IDirectDraw4'' when i link my executable. I am frustrated because I have added the include and library directories correctly (and set them at the top). I have added the ddraw.lib in the Link library files. If I set these correctly why won''t it work?

You need to do 1 of 2 things:

1) Place " #define INITGUID " before your DX includes

or

2) Link to dxguid.lib
