    Changed my main function, now this.

    Error!!!

    Code:
    LIBCMTD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _main referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup
    I am trying to rig a project I already have going, which was created as a console application.
    I basically added winmain and it's not recognizing it as the main function.

    Is there any way I can change my project settings (vs2005 express) to support my new main function?

    Or do I have to create a windows application from scratch?
    Sometimes I forget what I am doing when I enter a room, actually, quite often.

    No, you can change the Subsystem in "project->properties->linker ->system", change it from "console" to "windows".

    Fixed!!!

    God, I only dug through the settings for 3 hours.

    lol

    I had to change the SubSystem to WINDOWS!!!

    EDIT:
    Oops, thanks for the quick response, but i finally found it!

    It will be implanted into my memory thanks to those troublesome hours.

    Yes, I had to look it up myself, as I rarely do that.
