Well, this looks like fine C++ to me, although I notice you're not including stdafx.h, are you not using precompiled headers ( the default is to use them )

Either way, I recommend reading the 'how to ask questions' sticky post for guidance on how to ask questions that people can answer. In this case you've posted a valid C++ program, and no details on the errors which would tell us if you're using the wrong compiler ( it's happened ), the wrong project type, or what your error happens to be. Please post error info, and then we can help more.

BTW, I typed the error message into google and got a ton of hits. That's generally a good way to work out this sort of stuff. You've created the wrong sort of project.

Sorry Marius

I get a compiler error.
It give me a different error now i just fixed the libraries but its just like microsoft said it must be.
It now says this with the Input/Output: MSVCRTD.lib(crtexew.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _WinMain@16 referenced in function ___tmainCRTStartup

What is wrong with it

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
string firstName;
string lastName;
int ID;

cout << "Enter your first name ";
cin >> firstName;

cout << "Enter your last name ";
cin >> lastName;

cout << "Enter your ID number ";
cin >> ID;

cout << "Hello " << firstName << " " << lastName;
cout << " or should I say " << ID << endl;

return 0;
}

It gives me an error

Really Because for other hundreds of thousand of programmers it works.

So, can you explained what you tried to do and what exactly doesn't work

Obviuosly you told the linker that you want to create a Windows program (so one with a graphical interface), not a console programm.

Check your project settings.
