your compiler comes with DirectX 1.0
and when you include ddraw.h you r icluding DD 1.0
and sure your compiler doesn''t know what the heck
LPDIRECTDRAW7 or LPDIRECTDRAWSURFACE7 are.
so all you have to do it to get your compiler to include DD 7.0.
header files and *.libs come within the SDK.
go get ''em
and when you include ddraw.h you r icluding DD 1.0

Not only that, but make sure you''re calling the right version of DirectX when you query for the object from COM. If you don''t request the latest version, then you will get errors if you try and use DirectX 7 functions with and older version.

i think what anonymous was getting at is you may be including the wrong version of dx headers, add the directories where the ''new'' versions of headers and libs are in ''Tools|Options...Directories'' and make sure they are at the top.
