i find it easier to use the following when using andre''s source:

// Put at top of file...
#pragma comment( lib, "ddraw" ) // Include ddraw.lib in workspace (assuming you have properly setup the compiler links).
#pragme comment( lib, "dxguid" ) // ditto, but dxguid.lib does the same as #define ALLGUIDS
