what do you think these errors mean?

I am using vc++ 2005 express beta2 and I am getting the following errors what could they mean?
It means that those functions are called from your code, but they don't exist. Usually, these kind of errors are caused by forgetting to add a library to your project. However, these are standard Win32 functions and are normally included by the standard setup, so you probably set up the project incorrectly, ... or something more difficult to figure out.

it is linked
Must be some other windows lib then.
Unless you forgot to include a header or something...

you sure you project is not a console project?
That doesn't have much effect on compiling Win progs as far as I know, it just opens up a console window along with the main window during the execution. At least, that's what Dev-C++ does, and I'm pretty sure VC++ does that as well.
You must have forgotten to link a library. You can seek the neccessary libraries in MSDN for all those functions (try one at a time, as more functions are probably in the same library).

well I am sure i did something wrong with the librarys. I will tell you how I set it up and perhaps you could see if I have done something wrong.
I got VC++ 2005 express beta 2, which does not come with the windows platform sdk. So I downloaded the Installed the Windows XP SP2 Platform SDK. Since I have a beta versions of vC++, I am unable to link librarys so i just copied all of the librarys from that sdk to the lib directory in visual c++ and the same with the headders. it seems that all of the proper libs are in that directory but I still get the errors.
