Original Post
Okay, I'm using Dev-Cpp. I took the following code from a tutorial and copied and pasted it into a new Win32 application project (and later an empty project); added all of the lib files in Dev-Cpp's lib file folder and compiled. At first, it looked like everything was working, but when I exit I get one of the windows error report screens. Could someone please help me by telling me what's wrong and what I've forgotten to do? Thanks in advance, sorry to ask such a silly question. EDIT: 'source' tags are preferred over 'code' tags for longer listings... [Edited by - Fraza on July 2, 2006 3:55:34 PM]
