I checked all the files and am still receiving the following message. A while ago I had everything up and running without coming across this problem. Then I formatted my hard disk and began reinstalling everything and now I can''t get passed this. The only thing different is that I have the latest Directx, but to my knowledge the upgrade should have no effect on older programs. I checked the error code on msdn but there are too many things that this error code can represent, so I can''t figure out the solution. Hopefully someone out there can provide some good insight. --------------------Configuration: 1steps - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... d3dapp.cpp d3dfont.cpp d3dutil.cpp dxutil.cpp Linking... d3dapp.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "float __cdecl DXUtil_Timer(enum TIMER_COMMAND)" (?DXUtil_Timer@@YAMW4TIMER_COMMAND@@@Z) Debug/1steps.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals Error executing link.exe.

Are you including d3dx8/9/whatever.lib ?

I tried including both and then one and not the other, but those attempts failed.

DXUtil_Timer is based in D3DApp.cpp / DXUtil.cpp (with the SDK), isn't it? Have you included that?

EDIT: I mean compiled/linked.

If you mean compile and link seperately and away from any other programming the following happens:

--------------------Configuration: d3dapp - Win32 Debug--------------------

Have you included those two files to your project??

I have included those files already.
