anyways i want to go right into game programing so i installed DX9 SDK
and started reading but when it come to testing some of the samples
they wont compile. says:

cannot find "d3dx9.h" no such file or directory

the file is there i checked twice and reinstalled DX9 SDK twice and
stil nothing

anyone else had this? know how to fix it if u have?

if its somthing simple, kick me gently i am a 3day old C++ coder

you probably need to include the directory in your visual studio
environment; check out under Tools/Options/Projects/VC C++ directories
and add the path to the include file under "Include files"
