Hi folks got a problem Im new to C++ Programming and wanted to start with DirectX. So i downloaded and installed all the stuff. And i made the path for the libraries and includes. Yes and i wrote the ddraw.lib and all the other libs in my project-options. So then i started with the first tutorial but there was always this error: --------------------Konfiguration: Test - Win32 Debug-------------------- Linking started... d:\PROGRAMME\DXSDK\LIB\ddraw.lib : fatal error LNK1106: Invalid file or Disk is full: Placing at 0x3b16078a not possible Error while executing link.exe. Test.exe - 1 Error, 0 Warning(s) But my disk is not full, there are about 25gb left. And i tried other samples but nothing helped. So can anybody tell me what to do? I really have no idea. Thx Awaiting ur answer, Adrian
Try reinstalling the DirectX SDK. If that doesn''t help, then it is probably because you are using VC++ 5. You should upgrade to at least version 6.

It''s probably because DXSDK libs were built for VC6. Find VC5 libs or get a new compiler.

Hey, I was just wonderin'' what is the highest version of DirectX Visual C++ 5.0 will suport?
So what if I'm 13, I can still code better than like 95% of Americans, and probably 99.9% of the people in the world. Whoa, I feel proud.

You can always use GetProcAddress, I suppose. You usually need just a Create function anyway.

On a related note: Does MSVC have an equivalent of implib? I tried playing with link.exe options, but with no luck.
