When I run my SDL program in VC7, I get a whole bunch of ("No symbols loaded.") on things I never even planned to load, just a bunch of DLLs, and the program doesn't run right. But When I run it manually without debug, it works fine. WHat should I do?

It sounds like you need to setup the release target setting. This usually entails copying your include directories, libraries, and lib directories from the debug target. Basically everything you did to make debug do, you have to repeat for release (fun, isn't it?).

I don't know what is now different but now the program is running in debug teh same as it is when I run it manually, as in both bad.

Nvrnmd, I got it. My PNGs were only in the debug folder, not thr root folder.
