Cannot find Configuration Properties - Visual Studio 2008

Quick background: wrote a packet sniffer program using libpcap in Linux; very simple to do. Thought it'd be fun to port this to Windows (WRONG), and I can't even set the retarded environment to work with winpcap.

Following the setup from Winpcap.org:
Visual Studio 2005 (needed to compile x64 applications)

To add a preprocessor definition, you must select Properties from the Project menu, then select C/C++ from the list control on the left, and under the category Preprocessor, you must add the definition under the Preprocessor Definitions text box.
To add a new library to the project, you must select Properties from the Project menu, then select Linker from the list control on the left, and under the category Input add the name of the new library in the Additional Dependencies text box.
To add a new path where Microsoft Visual Studio will look for the libraries, you must select Options from the Tools menu, then Project and Solutions from the list control on the left, VC++ Directories, then choose Library Files in the Show directories for combobox, and the add the path in the box below.
To add a new path where Microsoft Visual Studio will look for the include files, you must select Options from the Tools menu, then Project and Solutions from the list control on the left, VC++ Directories, then choose Include Files in the Show directories for combobox, and the add the path in the box below.

Well I don't HAVE the options for Configuration Properties or any of the other things I'm allegedly supposed to see.

THIS http://www5.picturepush.com/photo/a/...Properties.png is what I'm stuck with every time I view "Project Properties".

How I do I get to the stupid Linker properties???

Your anger is not a result of a "retarded environment", it is a result of you not understanding what you are doing. You for some reason think you have a C++ project, yet obviously you are working with a .NET/C# project. Why you would expect to find options like include/lib paths in a C# project is beyond me, but you obviously need to start over and choose C++ when you begin a new project next time.

:lol: It looks like someone forgot to take that left turn at Albuquerque...

...

Albuquerque being the project types tree.

Ok, this helps everything. Reading through other forums about the configuration properties, I was led to believe that it was the same for ALL of the languages and not just limited to C++.

Plus I was trying to do this at 4am after having woke up from strange dreams all night, and thought I could do something "fun" to... reset... my dreams.
