So, I did some tests using an example AppGameKit project in
VC++ 2010 Express. The example project was the SpaceShooter game. Everything went smoothly and it ran well, and now I'm ready to start up my project.
I started a new project and selected the AGK_Wizard template for the project.
I didn't change anything and attempted to compile it straight away. I was met with quite a long list of errors:

I notice that this is all in the cobject3d.h header file, but I'm not wanting to utilize any of AGK's 3D elements. Can I exclude this from my project just to get it up and running? Or, better yet, for future development sake, what's wrong with this header file and how can I fix it to compile properly?
The first error about DEBUG_NEW is pointing at this line:
m_pData = new float[ numVertices*m_iComponents ];
m_pData is defined as a void*
Are there some include/libraries that I need to ensure are included in the project properties? If I can't get this to work out, I may have to strip down one of the example projects and start from there.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
