	cout << "Pause (Press ENTER to end the program)" << endl;
	cin.get ();
	return 0;
}

I get this output 

Please Enter a sentence.
Hello World
We have marked the vowels with asterisks (*) Hello World
Here is the orginal Hello World
We found 0 A(s)
We found 0 E(s)
We found 0 I(s)
We found 0 O(s)
We found 0 U(s)
For a grand total of 0 Vowels!
Pause (Press ENTER to end the program)

Any Ideas?

You're searching UserInput before you get it from the user. It will always fail to find anything because it's searching an empty string.
