btw I quickly typed Raxisesss I just felt like doing that.

You've created a console application instead of a Win32 application. Either re-create the project as a Win32 application, or go to project settings (Alt+F7) -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> System -> SubSystem and change it from "Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE)" to "Windows (/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS)"

copy...paste....compile....run. Ty so much dude! omg ty!
