You created a Win32 Console Application. That means it wants a main function, not a WinMain.. what you wanna create is the application above it, a Win32 Application or whatever its called... (can''t remember right now). You should be ok from there.

You are making a Win32 console project. Create a new project, and choose Win32 application instead of win32 console.

oh, what a simple stupid mistake,
I was doing the exact same thing, beating my head against the wall trying to figure out what I was doing wrong,
I HATE MFC 8\

Easy mistake to make! And as far as I am aware that isn''t even MFC yet...
