when you created your project, did you pick a console app or a win32 app?

I did what you said and got the following:
------ Build started: Project: Hi, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

Hi.cpp

Is there a file named 'stdafx.h' in your project? If not, make sure that you remove the line '#include "stdafx.h"' from your hi.cpp file. After which, you should recompile the project. I am guessing that you might not have this file in your project and are trying to include it in your source code.
try this aswell.
when starting a new project, in the wizard that pops up to select what kind of project, choose win32 console app, then on the next screen, make sure its an empty project.
I did just that, copy and pasted your code and it worked just fine, and you don't need to include stdafx.h, also I'd get rid of the "using std namespace, and use the namespace prefixs on the cout like so.
std::cout << "foobar" << endl

Ok but can you paste the code completely, I didn't get the replacing part ;D.
I Googled it and I found this;
In the Options go into Projects and Solutions -> VC++ Directories page and place this rows:
$(SystemRoot)\System32
$(SystemRoot)
$(SystemRoot)\System32\wbem
hope that helps its all I could find

I did as you told me to create the project/file.
I used the following code:
// my first program in C++
#include <iostream>
std::cout << "foobar" << endl;
int main ()
{
cout << "Hello World!";
return 0;
}
And got this error message:

If anyone understands any of this gibberish for making a simple program that inserts text I'd depreciate it.

You're getting all of that 'gibberish' because you're not allowed to write "std::cout << "foobar" << endl;" outside of a function.
Try:
Try:
// my first program in C++#include <iostream>int main (){ std::cout << "Hello World!"; return 0;}

Also for the future, are these problems very common? That happen all the time and you have to spend 10 minutes figuring out, I find it very hard to understand these languages...very complicated, so can anyone guide me towards the next step?
