so i'm using the code from a tutorial to try and set up SDL on visual studio express 2010.

#include "SDL.h"  // include SDL

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) 
{

	  // the screen we will draw to. 
	 SDL_Surface *screen;
	 //  the surface to draw the bitmap on.
	 SDL_Surface *bmp; 
	 // area to draw the bitmap to.
	 SDL_Rect  targetarea;
	 
	 // initialize SDL. // I use everything as it will load video as well.
	 SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_EVERYTHING); 
	 
	 /*
	  set up the screen  pass in screen  
	  width,height,bpp and set SDL to software 
	   rendering	  
	 */
	 screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(640,480,32, SDL_SWSURFACE); 

	 // load a bitmap.
	 bmp = SDL_LoadBMP("test.bmp"); 
	 
	 targetarea.x = 10; // target x
	 targetarea.y = 20; // target y
	 targetarea.w = bmp->w; // target width
	 targetarea.h = bmp->h; // target height
	 
	 // Draw the bitmap to the target area
	 SDL_BlitSurface(bmp, NULL, screen, &targetarea); 
	 
	 // show the bitmap // double buffering
	 SDL_Flip(screen);  
	 while(1);
}  

But I keep getting this error type thing. It allows me to run the program but immediately crashes.

You can read about incremental links here

The problem though is most likely that the test.bmp cannot be found. Where did you save it to?
