#include <iostream> is a header file right?
and i dont know what .lib files are.
here are the errors:
Link Error : multiply-defined ''main'' (descriptor)
Defined in bkla.cpp
Defined in HelloWorld.cp
Link Error : multiply-defined ''main'' (code)
Defined in bkla.cpp
Defined in HelloWorld.cp
and i dont know what .lib files are.

Have you got more than one WinMain or main() function? If so, that''s your problem right there.

wait,i only need one main out of my two files?
Only one main, always remember that.
By the way, anything that is a .h is a header file. Header files basically are used to include the .lib in your program, but you have to add the .lib to your project. If your not using an API like Windows or DX/OpenGL, you don't have to worry about .libs yet.
You only need one main in your whole project, because you are including the other files which are connected to the file that has main in it.

I know one main per a file, but do you mean one main out of all my files in my project??
definitely one "main" per project. the linker looks for a function named "main" and sets the program to start here. thus if there were two "main"''s then it wouldn''t know which one to choose.
