any clues please

hey all,
i'm trying to compile a sample program i read from an article and i'm
getting 2 errors that i have no clue because it doesn't point to any source
code? please look at the following video (ie6 or earlier).

Describe the errors! I don't like videos. Nevertheless I tried to use the
link, does not find anything.

Ok, you could have described the errors. These are:
2 unresolved externals:
- InitCommonControls
- VerQueryValue in GetVersionInfo

Look in MSDN:
-> InitCommonControls: import library comctl32.lib (see linker settings)
-> GetVersionInfo: import library version.lib

it compiled but now i'm getting an error when running the application:

http://www25.brinkster.com/rodchar/error200707260308.png

can someone, by any chance, just by looking at the image tell what might be
going on. what i was doing is there's 2 buttons in a dialog box and when i
press 1 button a message box shows the button was clicked. but when i click
the 2nd button i get the error.

i understand this is probably not enough information but i'm so new i don't
know what else to do until i finish reading petzold (i'm on chap3 of the
tome).

Please stop this video and image posting when a simple textual
representation would work: line of code and error description.

Are you sure that m_lptc was initialized correctly? Check the code which
changes its value.

Apparently `m_lptc->ParentProc' is garbage. Check whether
`m_lptc' is initialized properly.

Instead of posting images or videos, just press Ctrl+C when
a message box is in focus. Then paste the text in a
message's body. Don't forget to post the line of code, which
caused an exception, as well.

thanks everyone for the help. sorry bout the multimedia, i'm just so new at
debugging in vc++ that i'm not sure how to pinpoint stuff for a forum
question that I take the lazy route. thanks so much for your time and effort.
