Hi all, I am new to directx programming. I tried to compile an example program from a book about d3d8 but i keep on getting a link error "unresolved external symbol _Direct3DCreate8@4". I installed the directx8 sdk and made sure the path for "include" and "library" are in Visual C++ directory paths. Anybody encountered the same problem? Thank you in advance for any help. directxNewbie

Did you remember to link to the dx8 libraries?

Thank you very very much.
You are right, I didn''t link the library under the project settings.
The program now runs.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
