I have tryed to fix this, so i un-installed everything darkgdk includeing visualc++ and i re-installed it and i still get the errors. I have made some new projects and still it doesn't work. please help. this happends on every project and even new ones, what did i do wrong?

Common problem this one, I think it is because you may be linking to a more recent version of DirectX. Be sure you have the August 2007 version and link to that.

ok, thank you for tha, is there anyway someone can explain how i can set things up to use the correct version? i think ive done it b4, i just can't remember

tia

ok, it is reading the direct x june 2010. I have seen this but i can't figure out how to tell it to just the aug 2007 version, whcih i also have. I have tried to uninstall the june 2010 version, but to no avail.


All help is apprciated

If you are using VS2008.
Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ Directories

On the 'Show Directories for' panel, change the include and library files to the August 2007 equivalents.

Just to note, you can get it working with June 2010 with a little work, if you do a search on this forum you should find some information. Although if you are new to the VS compiler then I would keep it simple and use the 2007 DirectX.

thank u Matty H, this worked.
