I get exactly the same. I am using visual c++ express edition, the latest Dark GDK and Microsoft DirectX SDK November 2007.

Don't even think about reading my posts...

The problem is you are using DirectX SDK November 2007, while you should use August 2007 version. If you want to keep November version also, just download the August one and unpack it to some location. Then configure your Visual Studio to load dibraries and header files from the August version.

First you need to unpack it somewhere (you don't have to install it, actually you should not install it if you want to use November SDK elsewhere). Then open your Visual Studio and there: Tools - Options - Projects & Solutions - VC++ Directories. In this dialog choose "Include files" in the drop down list and add a path to the DXSDK\include folder. Then choose "Library files" in the drop down list and add a new path to DXSDK\lib\x86 folder.

However, if you don't need November SDK, you can do this:
1) uninstall November version
2) fully install the August version
3) set up the paths as I described above

I need to have that latest directx version installed. So, I simply placed the DX August dplayx.lib' in the 'Dark GDKLib' directory. It works, but if one where to call any of the multiplayer commands this way, I wouldn't know if it would crash or not. I personally will not use DirectX's DirectPlay related functions for networking functionality so it should be fine this way for me.

It's a shame that one .lib file can cause this problem. I would of simply liked to of rem'd out the "#pragma comment ( lib, "multiplayer.lib" )" line in the DarkSDK.h header file, but doing that it still wants the 'dplayx.lib' file.
