YES, I have it set to multibyte characterset, and when I copied the code from the creator of the tutorial, it worked perfectly, but the thing is that they where the exact same code 100 % the same but one worked and the other did not, settings is set to win 32 and both debug and release gives errors.
this is tutorial code:

Whati s weird about this is that in the video he uses DrawTextA, youtube; fleep Hacks.
but if I use Draw_Text it also gives error

Answer 1

DrawTextA takes 5 arguments, and you're only passing in 4.
INT DrawText(
[in] LPD3DXSPRITE pSprite,
[in] LPCTSTR pString,
[in] INT Count,
[in] LPRECT pRect,
[in] DWORD Format,
[in] D3DCOLOR Color
);
The pSprite variable can be NULL, if you view the source code you're pasting he puts NULL as the first argument in every function call. Just put a NULL in front of your other 4 arguments and it will compile.
