I also had trouble setting up SDL in Visual Studio, so I'm looking foward to a reply.
However, if you get none, I recommend "Dev-C++" by Bloodshed, because it is fast, free, and I had no trouble using any libs with it.

Are you using Visual C++ 2005 Express? I downloaded & set it up for the first time last night, using the "Setting Up SDL" page on Lazy Foo's indispensible tutorials section as guidance- check out http://lazyfooproductions.com/SDL_tutorials/lesson01/ (in fact, the entire series of tutorials is essential if you're getting stuck in with SDL).
The instructions are for Visual Studio .NET 2003 but they still apply. Read the article thoroughly and you'll be rolling in no time. If you still have trouble then try downloading Bloodshed Dev-C++, you can get SDL installed very simply by downloading the SDL devpak & plugging it in.
Hope this helps- if not, I'll leave it to someone a bit more knowledgable than myself :)

The express edition of VS2005 doesn't come with certain Debug libraries. In most cases, compiling in Release mode will prevent those errors (CrtDbg____ type errors).
If you're having different problems, please help us with more specifics.

if you're not using the express edition then skip step 1.
step 1: install and set up the platform sdk
step 2: follow lazyfoo's instructions
