Im making a simple lan chatting program to familiarize myself with the Windows API and with networking, however whenever i try to compile my code i get this error

ok so obviously it can't open libboost_system-vc90-mt-sgd-1_41.lib but this file doesn't exist for boost... i have done searches in google, redownloaded and built Boost and this file has yet to show itself.....
So i got a Linker failing at linking to an imaginary file... wonderful. can anyone lend me a hand here?

also when compiling everything as a console application, everything works just fine, just when i introduce some Windows API code and start building a GUI does this file appear to be needed..

nobody?

with a lot more research i was able to figure this out.

here is what i found for anyone else that may someday have this problem.
