    Download some demos from http://nehe.gamedev.net and run them. I'm sure you can figure out what your're doing wrong with that source.

    The problem isn't the source, I am trying to run an unaltered demo from the opengl programming guide (the red book). i think the problem lies in my lack of experience with the particular IDE (VS6).

    Well it most likely is the source. All redbook demos require you to include windows.h before all other header files when compiling under Windows. Try that and add pragma statements to include needed libs.
