Have you set up your include and library files correctly?

You need to link opengl32.lib and glu32.lib to your project.

BASIC programmers don''t die, they just GOSUB and don''t return.

Have you set up your include and library files correctly?

After properly linking OpenGL32.lib GLu32.lib and GLaux.lib I know get the following error.

--------------------Configuration: Lesson3 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main

Anymore ideas???

Create your project in MSVC as a console app and not a windows app.

to change it to console i made winmain into main() with no arguments... however the same errors occur...

--------------------Configuration: Lesson3 - Win32 Debug--------------------
Compiling...
Lesson3.cpp
Linking...
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Lesson3.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

In short answer, change main back to WinMain and then do this:
1) Go to Project->Settings
2) Go to the Link tab and select "General"
3) In the box titled "Project Options," change "/subsystem:console" to "/subsystem:windows". If there is no "/subsystem" switch, simply add "/subsystem:windows".

Tada.

Peace,
ZE.

P.S. Never blame the software for your own ignorance.
