what is wrong? ? i don't understand most of these errors. please help me.

Thoughs are all linking errors i belive. so this might help.
1. Go to project
2. at the bottom of the list it is [gamename]properties. for example i think your game name is test stock so it would look like this:

test stock proerties

3. click configuration properties tehn c/c++ then code generation
4. change runtime library to multi-threaded (/MT)

That should work

What version of VC++ are you using, these errors usually happen when you use Visual C++ 2010, you should use 2008, or you are using to new of a DirectX SDK, you should be using DXSDK August 2007.

i am using visual c++ 2008, but i am using the august 2007 sdk, so i'll try the sdk 2008 and see if that works, ty

nope, still didn't work? should i reinstall darkgdk? or the compiler.

Try going into the "DarkSDK.h" file in your "TheGameCreators\DarkGDK\Include" folder and commenting out the line that says "#include <DarkSDKMultiplayer.h>".

Wow, thank you all for the tips, i finally got it to work, i just uninstalled visual c++ and the directsdk and re-installed them and it works. thank you.
