If you want whitespace you have to use source tags. Defining something as extern doesn't create an instance of it, it simply "imports" an existing instance, you stll have to somewhere write

D3DCAPS9 m_d3dCaps; // Caps for the device
LPDIRECT3DDEVICE9 m_pd3dDevice; // The D3D rendering device
--my site
ohhhhhhh yeah i forgot that detail!

thanks
