Problem with Visual C++ 6.0

Hello every one. I just got XP and I installed Visual Studio 6.0 on my computer. When I opened Visual C++ 6.0 I wanted to compile a free-bug error code. Then I checked it with a regular simple code like the "Hello World" program. It didnt't work. It said an error. Why?? It was a simple code that every code should have compiled. Well, if need here is the code I put:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
 cout<<"Hello World!"<<endl;
return 0;
}

And here comes the error from Visual C++ 6.0 :

Code:

--------------------Configuration: Code - Win32 Debug-------------------
Compiling...
Code.cpp
Linking...
libcpd.lib(wiostrea.obj) : fatal error LNK1143: invalid or corrupt file: no symbol for comdat section 0x105
Error executing link.exe.

Code.exe - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Please can anyone help me?? I don't want a good compiler wasted along with a lot of money. Thankyou!

First off, have you downloaded and installed the latest service pack (SP6)?

Second, what type of project did you create initially? When you create a new project, you are asked what type of project you want created. You should have selected a "Win32 Console Application".

Lastly, you might want to check here for a highly recommended list of fixes to several of the headers.

Thankyou I'll check

It still shows the same error. Why???

Now, it compiles, thankyou. But when the program ends, it doesn't say:
Press any key to continue . . .
why? Can I fix it??
