K, this may sound like a dumb question, but for someone like me, it''s not. I was just wondering how you would make the actual window scroll to the right if the player moves right, and it''s not an isometric engine. I think I have an idea, but I''m not sure if it''ll work.

just move the tiles that you draw (or whatever you draw) in the opposite direction that you want the window to scroll

That actually was my plan, but I think it doesn''t work too well, cause I tried that and it lagges SO BAD, like it would just start screwing up. Also then you have to move a whole bunch of stuff with you i think ...

Don't know if it is worth it to you but the book by SAMS "DirectX 7 in 24 hours" has a pretty good example of what you want. They use it as a base and expand upon it incorporating audio and such. Might be worth checking out.
