I may be wrong here, but from what I can see, you need to add DarkGDK (and quite possibly DirectX SDK) to the compiler's search paths...

In VS, select Tools then Options...

Select "Projects and Solutions" (left pane). Pay attention to the "Show Directories for" combo-box...

Add the following lines (change directories as needed) to the "Include Files" option of the combo-box:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Include
C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Include


Next, Add the following lines to the "Library Files" option:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft DirectX SDK (August 2007)\Lib\x86
C:\Program Files\The Game Creators\Dark GDK\Lib\vs9

And that should do it for you...

Happy Coding!

One thing, can you post images and screenshots in jpg format as they are much smaller and are more convenient

After trying JTK's solution, what error comes up?

try... hmmm modifying the code, like add a space or a comment, or press enter in some line until there is an asterisk in the "main.cpp" tab and then try to compile it. if this does not work change from debug to release. if you get a compiler error, not a "cant find exe" error, then go to Project/config/properties/input/linker/ignore specific libraries/ and add LIBCMT.lib and atls.lib
