That does not sound like any include problem. Are you sure that you haven''t missed a semi colon before that statement, or something like that. That is a very wierd error to get for that statement.

i fixed it!!
the srand() was at the top of the file, just below the #define''s. i simply moved it to the beginning of WinMain() and it worked fine! strange...

srand() is required <stdlib.h>
I guess, you have moved it below the correct include.

If you had it just below the #defines, then that''s your problem. You have to put executable code like that within functions.
