I've been having some problems with Visual C++ when linking programs that use directX. The program compiled fine, but when I tried to link it I got this message

Prog10_1.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _DirectDrawCreate@12

Anyone know how to fix that?

Thanks a bunch

I'm a newbie, how do you add lib files?

Go to your project settings and select the links tab. Then type it in the space where all of the other LIBS are located. Thats it!

Though you need to goto tools and set the up a dir to point to the libs(unless you move them to your msdev lib dir) Also include Dxguid.lib(youll need it sooner or later most likly (it has all the standered GUIDS in it).
