heh, Look to where your including "winnt.h"...

The file before that, your missing a '';''

#include <myfile>
#include <winnt.h>

myfile is the problem, and it will be at the end of myfile as well...

just a guess

I have only included Windows.h.

It really does look like something is wrong before the #include of winnt.h. (This is probably included inside by windows.h.) Are you absolutely positive that there is no erroneous code before your #include <windows.h>? Missing semicolon, closing brace, or similar ...?

I''m sure. This happens also when I try to execute the windows Hello World that''s already written by Microsoft. So it''s not really the program''s problem, I''m pretty sure. Does windows.h even call winnt.h?

Just to check, the code around there should look like this (Assuming MSVC 6.0):



I think you've probably inadvertantly edited Winnt.h. Can you post line 106? The "'fas' : missing storage-class or type specifiers" error looks to me like you've typed something in.

Edit: Damn forum messes up the preprocessor directives in the source tags...

It was exactly like that. Well, i''ve fixed it though. I completely uninstalled and then installed which seemed to fix it.
