I compiled tutorial #1 with out any errors but when i run the program, if i select windowed mode, you can see a program down in the task bar, but you cant see the program on your desktop, if i run the mouse over the part of the screen where the window is supposed to be (top left) my mouse icon shows its loading, So its there, but its not, same with fullscreen. Do you know what my problem might be?

Just a suggestion : check that your app is not starting in a minimized state. Another one is to check that it doesn''t go in some kind of eternal loop at startup.
