All, I was working my way through the directX tutorials (DirectX Graphics C/C++ Tutorials) in VisualStudio .NET. I did the two D triangle no issues. Started with the 3D stuff and when I included the D3dx8math.h and the D3dx8.lib, the linker started complaining that it could not find the libci.lib. GraphTut1 fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libci.lib' I found a copy of it in the SDK and included that in the path. That caused about 20 of what look to be debug macro's not to be defined. Does anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks that did the trick. I did try to use the search engine but came up blank. I will get the hang of using it soon. As I am learning some of the graphics stuff. Thanks again!
