[lordoflife1]

// C++ code tamplate
#include <iostream.h>
#include <string.h>
void main()
{
// code goes hear!!!!
}

its not disined to do any thing

[_panic_]

just a quick note on the pedantic front, you return value from main should be an 'int', not 'void'. but that isn't causing your problem...

what is the name of the file you have this code in? it should have a .cpp extension. further, how is it that you are trying to build the code? can you describe that process? it will help in determining why you are seeing this problem.

i need to you show me the line you type into cmd that gives you this error message. it is likely you need to include a '/I' options (which you should be able to find from your compiler documentation) pointing to the right files, but the advice below also holds, try removing the '.h' from the end of the filenames in your #include lines. they are no longer required and in some cases will generate the error you are seeing.
