Your source snippet shows that as "Data/NeHe.bmp" for the texture source, but if I remember properly, the proper seperator on Win32 is a '\', which you would write as "Data\\NeHe.bmp"

That probably isn't the exact problem, but it's just a suggestions

I removed the file from the Data directory and placed it on the same folder as the exe (and changed the target from Data/NeHe.bmp to NeHe.bmp) already, and it's still the same problem. Of course, it's a big improvement over the previous linker errors.. :P

Ok, if that isn't weird, NOTHING is: somehow I forgot to take off the "Data/" part. But I remember doing so! O.o LEast I can get on with the tutorials...
