What compiler are you using?

[vivmen]

sorry i furgate to tell compiler name

i am using microsoft visual studio 2005 .

[helios]

Google "visual c++ 2005 runtime redist". One of the top results will be a download page from Microsoft. The people you give your program to need to install that in order to run your program.

vivmen, if you are developing console apps or WinAPI apps, then you could use another compiler, for example Dev-C++ which is free: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html
Apps developed in Dev-C++ runs on other pcs with windows.

Another thing. WHERE in the world are you living and WHERE is your friend?

I had the same problem, and when I fixed it like that, it still didn't work on an american PC. I live in Norway.
