If you post your source i'll fix it for you or is the code at that link what you're using?

[FantaBrause]

yes i use from the link above.. if you can fix the error this would be nice.

you can post the fixed code here if you want

Did you make any changes to the original source? I assumed the original as is would compile and your first error isn't even rellevant to the original code as far as I can see.

[FantaBrause]

no i dont make any changes i upload a screenshot from vs++

in the internet i found something ppl. say change the character set from unicode to multibyte set (project/properities/confi.proper/general/Character set

i change it to multibyte and i get this error

Dude... I successfully compiled the code in both Dev-C++ and MVSC++ I don't understand why it's not working for you unless you changed it or use a fail compiler. The original at https://www.mpgh.net/forum/17-tutoria...c_trainer.html works fine, end of story sir.

[FantaBrause]

hmmmmmm
uhm i test it with Dev-C++ and it works fine..
i test it with visual studio 2005+2008 and i get these erros :/

no idea whats wrong..but works now with Dev-C++

You created the project in MSVS as a Win32 windows application when it should have been a win32 console application.
