Did you include dxguid.lib in your project? Try that.

Looks like it's only having a problem with the new stuff, which leads me to believe the compiler's including an older version of the header files somewhere.

Do a search and make sure that you only have one copy of the headers... it's possible you might have an older version inside the VC include path.

I happen to feel really stupid about this, so go easy on me. IM A NEWBIE!

I'm getting these errors when I try to compile the direct draw example (ddex1) that comes with directX 7 sdk. I'm using MS VC 6.0

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\projects\ddex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'g_pDD'
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\projects\ddex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : error C2501: 'LPDIRECTDRAW7' : missing storage-class or type specifiers
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\projects\ddex1\ddex1.cpp(39) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found

I already went to options and set the build directories to the Lib and Include directories. Anyone have any ideas as to what the problem might be?
