That's not your WinMain function, that's your Window Procedure. Post your WinMain function, every win32 application must have one.

usually looks something like this:

That must be the problem, I don't have any WinMain function.

Windows.h is already included in a file called stdafx.h which VS created for me, I don't know why it got there but I suppose it's important.

Off-Topic: Don't create that type of project. When you create your project, in the settings window, (Where you chose 'Windows Project'), choose 'Empty Project' as well. Link to libraries with #pragma comment(lib, "mylibrary.lib") if you don't like going into the project linker settings.
