STL link error

I'm using Visual C++ .NET and created a standard solution for a DX7 project. I've enabled "Ignore all default libraries" so that I know exactly what's being included and from where. These are the libs I'm including for the Debug configuration: dxguid.lib ddraw.lib d3dim.lib d3dxd.lib comctl32.lib winmm.lib libcd.lib Anyway, regardless of the APIs I'm using, everything has been linking and running fine until I introduced STL into the mix. I'm only using the default vector template included with the .NET installation and am getting the following 2 link errors: error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall std::_String_base::_Xran(void)const " (?_Xran@_String_base@std@@QBEXXZ) referenced in function "public: class std::basic_string,class std::allocator > & __thiscall std::basic_string,class std::allocator >::assign(class std::basic_string,class std::allocator > const &,unsigned int,unsigned int)" (?assign@?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@QAEAAV12@ABV12@II@Z) error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: void __thiscall std::_String_base::_Xlen(void)const " (?_Xlen@_String_base@std@@QBEXXZ) referenced in function "protected: bool __thiscall std::basic_string,class std::allocator >::_Grow(unsigned int,bool)" (?_Grow@?$basic_string@DU?$char_traits@D@std@@V?$allocator@D@2@@std@@IAE_NI_N@Z) The official STL site confirms that no extra libs are required to use STL (they're just templates after all), so I figure that's not the problem. Any ideas on what the problem might be? Thanks
