I''m using MS VC++ 6 and just starting to learn DirectX. I started a couple months ago and had to quit with too much going on and I just started up again. During that time I changed a bunch of stuff on my computer and ended up re-installing VC++. The problem I''m having now, I did not have before. My code so far is just the very basic, I''m trying to open an interface to a DDraw object but it tells my that the symbol is unresolved, no matter if I use the DX6 or DX7 interface. I am including ddraw.h (where the interface GUID is defined), the DX include path comes before all others, along with the library path. I know that the file is being included because I put some bad code into ddraw.h and it stopped on an error there. Is there some setting or something that I may be missing. This is so frustrating since I''ve done it before and it is so basic and simple. Thanks.

It sounds like you aren''t including the dxguid.lib file in your linking. Try adding that to your project.

man oh man, thanks. I both hate it and love it when it is something that simple.
