... then get mingw32 (gcc for windows) with the latest build of codeblocks. That should solve your compiler problems.

Wait... So you are using Visual C++ 6.0 and yet your Windows OS is broken..

Why not contact Microsoft support and get them to solve your problems for you? As you obviously have a legal version of Windows then it shouldn't be a problem for you. It is wrong that you own a legal version and yet you can't update it.

If you don't own a legal version of Windows then get one before asking for help here. I for one (and I am sure people will agree) do not tolerate pirates.

Good luck :) .

really necessary shadow? i think we all know that.

So i must get myself a new compiler? Ive been thinking about it for a while but it seems kinda strange that 6.0 can compile most of the stuff i donwload and ALL the stuff i code myself but i bow to greater knowledge :)

Ill be back if it doesnt work with a more solid compiler. Thanks for your input

Yes, Yes it was :) .

I am glad to hear that you are getting a better compiler. Visual C++ 6.0 is unsupported and it doesn't compile correct code (as other people stated).

Some modern libs have dropped support for Visual C++ 6.0 which is why you are probally getting errors.
