I am new to directx programming and recently purchased a book to help me. However, when compliling the examples that I wrote from the book I get the error ''unresolved external symbol _DirectDrawCreateEx@16'' I have no idea what this means. Can anybody help me? Thanx

I believe that means you need to add ddraw.lib to your project.

no, adding ddraw.lib to the project is the very first thing I did. All of the other Direct Draw functions work.

Try adding dxguid.lib to the project.
