Help! I''m a self-taught newbie, and unfortunately one of the big gaps in my knowledge, is the nuts and bolts of what''s going on "under the hood" when compiling and debugging with MSVC++ 6... I''m getting into DirectX now and things are getting for too complex to debug using just my wits alone... Can anyone recommend any materials or sites that would help me figure these things out and show me how to take advantage of the debugger and use it properly? Thanks, much appreciated! --HB

Get the book "Debugging Applications" by John Robbins or look up at the column "Bugslayer" at MSDN.
