getting straight to the point, my program compiles fine.. it shows 0 errors and 0 warnings... but when i run my program, it just crashes.. u know the usual dialog box with buttons like send dont send and debug.. .. here's the code..

}this is my program.. and i'm pretty sure i'v gone wrong with linking the files or something.. i'v included all the includes and lib files.. is there anything else i need to do.. i remember my professor in college doing something like going to project>settings>links and adding some lib files there like winmm.lib d3dx9.lib etc.. pls help.....
