You are running into a common problem which has to do with the history of C/C++.
Here is the OLD C++ way to do things (before the standard)
here is the new (standard) c++ way to do things
so in C++ all C / C++ standard header files do not have a .h suffix anymore, and their contents are now in namespace std. Of course you can use the using clause
using namespace std;
I just figured my example was better showing what was in the namespace.

// c header file#include <stdlib.h>// c++ header file#include <iostream.h>// non-c++ headers#include <windows.h>int main(void) { cout << "hello world" << endl; // no namespace used }
here is the new (standard) c++ way to do things
// c header file, no .h and add c prefix#include <cstdlib>// C++ standard headers have no .h#include <iostream>// non-c++ headers, no change#include <windows.h>int main(void) { std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl; }

can i just say ... DON''T DO THAT ...
NEVER EVER EVER go delete the original question from a post. First of all, because someone else may be having the same problem ... but how are they gonna find the answer?
If you had left the question alone, and ADDED a new response saying you got it ... then others who did a search on "namespace std" would have found your problem and the solution ... now they probably won''t
