There was a thunderstorm (caused by tornadoes, but that's another story...) that forced me to unplug my comp for a couple of days. When I logged back on, a lot of program reverted back to default options, including Visual Studio 2008 EE. When I tried to run my program (that ran perfectly before the storm), I recieved an error. But I tried compiling and running the sample Dark GDK code and it worked perfectly. So then I checked and synced the options in the the Linker section of both solutions but the results were the same.

Here's the error:


And I think the code's a little too much to stuff in a code snippet box, but its nothing special so I'll upload it.

Looks like you lost either your dplayx.lib file or the setting telling the compiler what folder to look under. On my workstation there's a copy under C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirextX SDK (August 2007)\Lib\x86and x64. If it's not there then you probably need to re-install the SDK. If it is there, check your compiler settings to make sure that the x86 or x64 (if you're on a 64 bit machine) is in your list of default lib directories.

Hmm, it seems I don't have dplayx.lib in either of my lib folders. When I first noticed that my program wasn't working, I updated my GDK; Now it is March 2008. Do I need to revert back to August 2007?
