win32 console application empty project. tried using different funtions, didn't work. To be honest I am a coding newbie, but I've scoured the internet for a solution and for the past 3 days have not found a single solution to my problem. Your help would be much appreciated, and I've tried reinstalling multiple times to no avail also.
A quick google search found this http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/uk/vclanguage/thread/3efb7e3c-6f1b-4397-b515-8ccf8eb98626
It seems to be your same problem. See if your file is added to project and it is getting compiled.

Another thing to check is if your subsystem under linker settings on the project is set to Console.

Thank you for your posts, but after trying what the article said It still seems to get the same error message. Also, I went in and looked under the linker settings to see if I had changed something on accident, but it is set to Console in the Linker system settings.

I've figured it out, I guess I was creating a new item, but not in the project perimeters. This was the solution for me, and thank you for the help. I wouldn't have gone to the basics without everyones help!
