The hell, now it's telling me that the parameter for RegisterClassEx is incorrect. It compiles and runs, but it goes through the error display deal

Note in my version I removed the Ex from the functions. Not sure if it ok to mix them, but to be safe I changed them.

Ah thank you so much!! It finally works. Now just to find out why WNDCLASSEX wasn't wanting to work, but WNDCLASS does

AND I wanna thank you, naraku, peter, ne, and everyone else in this thread. I FINALLY made it through creating a Win32 window from scratch. I feel like I have so much more I can do now :D
