I'm not an expert on this (or anything else for that matter), but I think header files are part of your compiler. So maybe a reinstall of your compiler would fix it?
Hope that helps a bit,

Based on the output there I'm gona assume your using Visual Studio 2005?

If so you are probbly missing a include path.

Try doint the following:

1. Go to Tools->Option
2. From there select "Projects and Solutions" and click the "VC++ Directories"
3. Select "Include files" from the top right dropdown box.
4. In that list should be this line "$(VCInstallDir )PlatformSDK\In clude"
5. If it is not, add it and you should be good to go.

The windows.h file is in the "\VC\PlatformSD K\Include" folder in your Visual Studio install directory.

I'm not sure you're using Visual Studio 2005 or just the Visual C++ 2005 Express.

If you're using the Express edition, then you have to install a platform
SDK, in which you'll find "windows.h" .

good luck:)

Im using Visual Studio 2005 yes.

Seems ive no Windows.H there.

Can i get the file somewhere?

omg...

I do feel that your "include path" gets something wrong..

so can you find the "d3d8.h" header file on your local machine?

[weaknessforcats]

Whever you #include a header you have two choices:

#include "myheader.h "

or

#include <myheader.h>

The difference is that by using quotes you tell the preprocessor that the header file is in the present working directory (PWD). For Visual Studio.NET 2005, that is the folder constainf your project file (.vcproj). If the header is not there, then it must be in a "standard place".

By using angle berackets, the header must be in a standard place.

A standard place is a series of pre-defined paths to yuor header files. For a project, right-click on the project name and select Properties from the drop-down menu.
Next, select C/C++ in the left pane. Next, select General in the left pane. Next, put your path in the property "Addtional Include Directories". You can either type the path or use the browse buttons to navigate to the folder that contains the file and click Open. Multiple paths are separated by a semi-colon.

This is the same problem as you had with the "windows.h" file.
If you managed to fix that you should be able to fix this using the same method, only this time you'd want to use the Include folder in the DirectX SDK directory.

How did you fix the "windows.h" problem btw?

[unknownbomb]

With Downloading latest Platform SDK and move the INCLUDE, LIB,BIN Maps to the VC map.

ok I will try ty
