I started learning DirectX 8 not to long ago, but I also wanted to know how to use DirectDraw. My only problem is I can't compile any of the DirectDraw SDK examples. I found this unusual becasue I did not have this problem when compiling the Direct 3D SDK tutorials. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, so could someone please tell me everything they did to get DirectDraw up and running. Thanks in advance.
