Windows Compiling Problem

Well, I finally pick up TOTWPG and it looks great Anyway, I go to compile the first example, by: 1) Creating a new Win32 Application 2) Using the wizard, selecting the second option, a "Simple win32 Application" 3) Then adding the following source code, straight from the CD

// DEMO2_2.CPP - a simple message box #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN #include <windows.h> // the main windows headers #include <windowsx.h> // a lot of cool macros // main entry point for all windows programs int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hinstance, HINSTANCE hprevinstance, LPSTR lpcmdline, int ncmdshow) { // call message box api with NULL for parent window handle MessageBox(NULL, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!!", "MY FIRST WINDOWS PROGRAM", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION); // exit program return(0); } // end WinMain

I SHOULD get a message box from compiling, instead I get this message: "--------------------Configuration: Peon3 - Win32 Debug-------------------- Compiling... demo2_2.cpp c:\program files\microsoft visual studio\21days\peon3\demo2_2.cpp(22) : fatal error C1010: unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive Error executing cl.exe. Peon3.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)" Wanting to figure the problem out myself, I check the C++ Help file and get this:

quote:

---

Fatal Error C1010 unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive A precompiled header was specified, but it did not contain a precompiled header directive. This error can be caused by specifying an incorrect file as a header file, or by specifying an include file with the /Yu (Use Precompiled Header) command line option that is not listed in the source file as an include file.

Sorry, but at my level, that doesn''t tell me a whole lot Any suggestions, anyone? thanks Peon
