How do I set up SDL in visual C++ 2010 express?
Author
I've searched for tutorials but couldn't find any good ones, so I decided to ask here, how do I set up SDL in Visual C++ 2010 express?

The explanations are very clear and easy to follow. Start with Lesson 1 and you are good to go. If you do not understand any of the steps, just post again to ask.

So I tried lesson 1, all compiles fine.
But when I run the program it's just a black screen without any picture on it, what have I done wrong?

have you written the code or did you just copy it? It is easy to miss a line. The full source can be downloaded at the bottom of the page. If that source don't work you have probably not set up SDL properly.
When I think about it, a blank window sounds more like an error in the code than SDL being not properly set up.
Try add the following code after hello = SDL_LoadBMP( "hello.bmp" ); :
Try add the following code after hello = SDL_LoadBMP( "hello.bmp" ); :
if (!hello)
{
printf("SDL_LoadBMP failed: %s\n", SDL_GetError());
}
