and these errors came up. (i also tried with directx 9):

Error	1	error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _D3D10CreateDeviceAndSwapChain@32 referenced in function "void __cdecl initD3D(struct HWND__ *)" (?initD3D@@YAXPAUHWND__@@@Z)	Main.obj	directx 10
Error	2	fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals	C:\Users\Someone\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\directx 10\Debug\directx 10.exe	directx 10


can anyone please tell me whats wrong and how to fix it? thanks.
