So I xp mode after my teach told me dark gdk/vsc++2008 won't work on windows 7.

fully update xp
install vsc++2008
ran it
install dark gdk
install direct x update

try running the basic dark gdk program

and get hit with error messages stating

-Failed to get device caps
-Failed to find valid stencil buffer
-Unable to create device

Is there a way to fix this or get dark gdk working because I need to get this program working asap, I'm falling behind in class.

1 - vc++ (run at least once before the step 2)
2 - direct X
3- dark gdk

Not true. It works on Windows 7.

(Well, you may have problems with circles with certain video cards, but I'm sure there are better workarounds then to switch the entire operating system. EDIT: and everything else works.)

You mean you are using XP mode under Windows 7? I don't think that supports DirectX at all.
