Alright, what tends to cause linker errors? I get this

cDirectDraw.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _DirectDrawCreateEx@16 referenced in function "public: void __thiscall CDirectDraw::Load(void)" (?Load@CDirectDraw@@QAEXXZ)

Where should I look to fix this bloody error? Cheers

Seems like you are not linking in the library that is responsible for that method.

if you are using visual studio you could use #pragma comment(lib, "ddraw.lib") i think that is correct for direct draw library but check your lib directory.
