The compiler is telling me i have like 75 syntax errors in places i KNOW i don't. Could anyone please tell me what i am doing wrong? here is my source code and the compile log: source code: IDirect3D9 *d3d = NULL; IDirect3DDevice9 *d3ddevice = NULL; HINSTANCE globinsthandle; HWND globwinhandle; int PASCAL WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR szCmdLine, int nCmdShow); long FAR PASCAL WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam); void frame(); void initilization(); void shutdown(); int PASCAL WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst, HINSTANCE hPrev, LPSTR szCmdLine, int nCmdShow) { MSG message; globinsthandle = hInst; WNDCLASSEX windowclass; windowclass.cbSize = sizeof(windowclass); windowclass.style = CS_CLASSDC; windowclass.lpfnWndProc = WindowProc; windowclass.cbClsExtra = 0; windowclass.cbWndExtra = 0; windowclass.hInstance = hInst; windowclass.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); windowclass.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW); windowclass.hbrBackground = NULL; windowclass.lpszMenuName = NULL; windowclass.lpszClassName = "game"; windowclass.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION); RegisterClassEx(&windowclass); HWND handletomainwindow; handletomainwindow = CreateWindow("game", "caption1", WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 0, 0, 1600, 1200, NULL, NULL, hInst, NULL); ShowWindow(handletomainwindow, SW_NORMAL); UpdateWindow(handletomainwindow); initilization(); ZeroMemory(&message, sizeof(message)); while(message.message != WM_QUIT) { if(PeekMessage(&message, NULL, 0, 0, PM_REMOVE)) { TranslateMessage(&message); DispatchMessage(&message); } else frame(); } shutdown(); UnregisterClass("game", hInst); return 0; } void frame() { /* still need to set up matrices here I didn't in the initilization because we will need to change them depending on what is happening in the game at any given time */ return; } void initilization() { D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS d3dpresparam; D3DDISPLAYMODE d3ddisplaymode; d3d = Direct3DCreate9(D3D_SDK_VERSION); d3d->GetAdapterDisplayMode(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, &d3ddisplaymode); ZeroMemory(&d3dpresparam, sizeof(d3dpresparam)); d3dpresparam.Windowed = TRUE; d3dpresparam.SwapEffect = D3DSWAPEFFECT_DISCARD; d3dpresparam.BackBufferFormat = d3ddisplaymode.Format; d3dpresparam.EnableAutoDepthStencil = TRUE; d3dpresparam.AutoDepthStencilFormat = D3DFMT_D16; d3d->CreateDevice(D3DADAPTER_DEFAULT, D3DDEVTYPE_HAL, globwinhandle, D3DCREATE_SOFTWARE_VERTEXPROCESSING, &d3dpresparam, &d3ddevice); d3ddevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_LIGHTING, TRUE); d3ddevice->SetRenderState(D3DRS_ZENABLE, TRUE); return; } void shutdown() { d3ddevice->Release(); d3d->Release(); return; } long FAR PASCAL WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT uMsg, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) { switch(uMsg) { case WM_DESTROY: PostQuitMessage(0); return 0; } return DefWindowProc(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam); } please note that i delete about 17 lines of comments at the beginning, so it says the first error is on line 18, but it's really on the first line. here is the compile log: 1>Compiling... 1>framework.cpp 1>..\..\framework.cpp(1 : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '*' 1>..\..\framework.cpp(1 : error C4430: missing type specifier - int assumed.

This will fix errors such as "error C2065: 'D3DPRESENT_PARAMETERS' : undeclared identifier" Also make sure you have the directx sdk\lib directory in your lib path. Then for each project you make add d3d9.lib and d3dx9.lib (d3dx9d.lib for debugging) to your linker list. When I get home I will take some screenshots or something (and maybe a small sample project though I have the full VS2005 Pro so i'm not 100% sure if they are compatible) of what you need if its still unclear. You may also need the MS Platform SDK installed at some point im not sure. Microsoft Visual C++ Express 2005 isn't that great for writing unmanagd C++ I find. It's mainly aimed at Managed C++ for the .NET Framework I think... but you should be able to set it up to do this normally I'm sure.
