Hm, I'm really new to this, and I assumed that everytime you build a solution, it creates an executable?

How do I make sure it compiles as an exe?
Just choose Windows Project (when you create a new project)

Try what's described here: http://www.gamedev.net/community/for...opic_id=456420 ...
What version of Visual Studio are you using?

Re: Including DDRAW.LIB | H into a project

"Oh my god!" to the 100th power! Thank you for that link!
It explained everything, all I did wrong was forget the quotations "" when adding the library into the input.
I wrote:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Lib\x86\ddraw.lib
When it should've been
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2009)\Lib\x86\ddraw.lib"

I feel silly for not realizing it... Thank you so much.

@ShadowScripter
If you're new to this, using DirectDraw may seem quite complex, perhaps start on something easier?

Re: Including DDRAW.LIB | H into a project

Well, this is from a "Windows Game Programming for Dummies" book, so, if you've got a better suggestion as to where to start, please feel free to share.
