Does anyone know how to like to the DirectDraw Library. I have #include the ddraw.h and i thought i could get the ddraw.lib and dxguid.lib wiht a #pragma comment however the compiler still does not recognize the LPDIRECTDRAW7 obj I am trying to create Thanks NextGenGamer

I meant to say link to a library sorry

What compiler are you using?

Make sure your topmost include directory is the DX one.
