when ever i run this code,i get these three erors C:\mssdk\samples\Multimedia\DDraw\src\DDex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : error C2146: syntax error : missing '';'' before identifier ''g_pDD'' C:\mssdk\samples\Multimedia\DDraw\src\DDex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : error C2501: ''LPDIRECTDRAW4'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers C:\mssdk\samples\Multimedia\DDraw\src\DDex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found Error executing cl.exe. i cant figure out hoe to fix it will someone please help me //----------------------------------------------------------------------------- // File: DDEx1.CPP // // Desc: Direct Draw example program 1.

Check your include path (in VC++: Tools->options->directories) add the Include directory of the directory where you installed the DX SDK, and move it on top of all the others, then try again
