i get all the time following errors:

sky_Maincpp.exe - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)[/code]

i think its got something to do how i create the project (win32 app/console app/mfc app and so forth)

help please :D

main() not Main().  And if it's a Win32 project it'll be WinMain().

thx alot

hmm, it eventually compiles but it is only a console. shouldnt it be a window?!

Yes, it should be a window. What kind of project do you have this set up as?

New -> Project -> Win32 Application
should i use a different kind of type?
i tried it with dev-c++ as well (without the pragma) and it creates a console app as well  :'(
help please

Did you use main or WinMain?

Just to clarify, this program was intended to be compiled with /ENTRY:Main (and without the CRT linked in).

Changing it to int main() should work, though.  If you don't want it to be linked as a console app, then change the subsystem setting to /subsystem:windows instead of /subsystem:console.
(This should be in your linker options.)

thx mate. but tell me please where to learn such things?;D are so 133D only cauz of msdn.com?>.< i just admire your knowledge ;D

what is the CRT and how to link withou it? i already tried to find it out it with google...

CRT = C Run-Time ??
