I keep getting compiler errors from this file wincrypt.h :confused: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include\WinCrypt.h(249): error C2501: 'HCRYPTPROV' : missing storage-class or type specifiers I've downloaded tutorials from this site..http://www.ultimategameprogramming.com/ The open gl tutorials for windows. :sigh: Normality is a weakness...

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600 #define WINVER 0x0600 and u better use the latest sdk from ms - its free

Where do I put these declarations? I put them in wincrypt.h and in winbase.h. Still no luck...:(( Thanks for your help. Normality is a weakness...

put them in your stdafx.h or in the source file where you include wincrypt.h you should not be modifying system headers! dingbat!

Well I tried that with a project having only one source file and no stdafx.h and it didn't work. Normality is a weakness...

As a last measure, u can define it in your code: typedef unsigned long ULONG_PTR; typedef ULONG_PTR HCRYPTPROV;
