Forget all about those errors, got it fixed! It has something to do
with the SDK and the order that files need to be included in. For
some reason MS decided not to include all the dependancies, and I had
to include windows.h before the include for wincrypt.h I do have to
wonder why I didn't have to do this prior to the SDK...
I'll keep everyone posted if I have anymore problems, but hopefully
the next you hear from me while be a working compile!
