Did you install and test SFML as it talks about here? http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.2/start-vc.php Because it sounds like the library is on your system, but not like it is really known to VisualStudio.

i found it.  VS searches for resources with the .cpp files and not with the .exe.  I just had to place the .png with the .cpp files.  Extra note, if you are writing a windows program you can switch it to a console program from project properties > linker > system > subsystem

Ah, yes.  A path issue.  That would certainly do it.
