    Help With Error

    I'm doing Nehe's Tutorial Lesson 9, the one with the stars. I keep coming up with this error:

    Code:
    LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "and.obj"
    I have no idea what it means. I've searched the entire source for and.obj but it's not there... I must be making a really stupid mistake. Anybody have an idea?

    Hmm...compilers for me...what Compiler?

    You need opengl32.lib, glu32.lib & glaux.lib...you may need to download these again from M$ if they arent working....

    Make sure you do not have that file currently open.

    and.obj probably doesn't exist, but one of the files that do exist must be referencing it somehow, that is why you delete all of the other project files except for your sources, headers, and workspace (.dsw, .dsp) files and then rebuild the project.

    Ok, now I only get one error. But it's not a compiler error, it comes up when I run the program. Initialization Failed; what does this mean? I thought it usually had to do with the attachments of files that aren't there etc. But my bmp is there, anyone know whats wrong?
