#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout <<"hello world!"<< endl;
return 0 ;

Hi, I am a returning newbie, I have recently installed MS Studio 6, an dwhen using Visual C++ I too am having the same problem.
I tried to look up the instructions you gave, can I ask where they for version 6 or a newer version
Cheers,

HI
First, you have to make sure you biuld the right kind of project. (You a console application)
The problem you see here is the Precompiled header files:
there are two solutions to that, wether you switch the use of those files of (Project->Properties - Configuration Properties -> c/c++ -> Precompiled headers : switch to not using....)or you simply include the file (put in #include "stahx.h" as first line in the file ).

honestly I don't remember exactly whereit is in version 6, it's a while ago i worked with it.
I suggest you get visual studio 2005 version, the express version are for free at the moment and are able to do much more than a newbie will ever need.
Also the include version is quite easy.
The settings should be somewhere in the porperties of the project. Just have a look around I'm sure you'll find it, it's there somewhere ;). I mean it's goog to know anyway what is where in this menues, so get to know it.
