What does that file look like? (exception). Looks like it might be corrupted.

[hiro0213]

thanks for the reply. by the way what do you mean what the file looks like? and how would you be able to say its corrupted.

[hiro0213]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout<<"hi";

return 0;
}




it was as simple as this yet the compiler keeps giving me the same errors i have also tried using iostream.h but it also has an error

I think it would be obvious if it was corrupted. Just look at the contents of the file by opening it in the IDE or in WordPad
or Notepad or something. Also, ios.h. You should not be getting compile errors in standard header files.

[hiro0213]

what should i do then, any ideas?
i cannot pass my project because of this...

[Albatross]

I'd reinstall VC++.

[ClaudioSteel]

Absolutely, reinstall.

[kaduuk]

It's definately a compiler problem, since I dont see anything wrong with the code..

So yeah reinstall :)

Cheers!
