Learning DirectX, can't compile example code

I'm working through Beginning Game Programming (J. Harbour, 3rd Ed) and I've hit a roadblock. The code in the book won't compile, and after reading similar topics here (about the same sample program in the same book) none of the solutions that apparently worked for them are working for me. I tried Harbour's website, but it won't let me view any of the book's help boards without making an account and having it manually approved by an administrator (and three days later, no word from them). /* Beginning Game Programming, 3rd Ed.
