It is probably because you are compiling using the debug libraries. In VC++ along the top banner where it says "Debug", change that to "Release". Now in the solution explorer (on the left hand side of the screen) right click on your game project and select "Properties".

Go to "Configuration Properties" -> "C/C++" -> "Code Generation" and change the "Runtime Library" to "Multi-threaded (/MT)". I am pretty sure that is what you need to do, if that doesn't work you will have to have your friends install the VC++ redistributable runtime libraries in order to play the game.

It worked on my computer and I have XP 32-bit.

1)Did you compile in release mode?
2)Does your one friend have XP 64-bit or 32-bit?

Does your friend have the August 2007 version of Direct X installed on his workstation? You don't seem to be distributing the DLL for it with your game.

First, thx for all your answers
@ABXG : i changed it to MT , then i only can run it in debug mode, if i want to release i get an error: the system cant found the 2d spiel.exe and fatal error LNK1120: 1 unsolved extern link
@Bran flakes :
1.) i am compiling in release mode
2.)the one friend got win XP 32-bit
@Lilith: I am sure that both friends have got the newest directx versions, because they are gamers and have got high-end computers)))
Yes, it seems like i am not distributing the dll's with my game.Do you know how to fix that?
@adastras: going to try this out

But there is still a problem: it doesnt work on Vista.Does someone got any idea why?

sometimes you get the Error message with false application configuration if you dont have installed .NET Framework 3.5

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Latest DirectX version doesn't mean diddly. It has to be August 2007 release. Look under C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Redist>. You should see a large number of .CAB files with various dates. You should be looking for AUG2007_d3dx9_35_x86.cab. Use WinZip or some other competent unzipping program to look inside for the appropriate .DLL file which should be placed in the same directory as your executable.

this was it.
i reinstalled Visual sutido and August SDK.
then at the installation of August SDK u need to mark the redist data to be installed, i think the first time i've installed it i had overseen it -.-
then added the redist folder in the Visual Studio
