hey all, something happened and i have no clue as to how. all of the sudden these errors came from files i've never heard of or touched. the errors are only in the one workspace. here's a few, there's 102 in all:

Error executing cl.exe.
the only other thing to note is msvc created a new folder in my workspace called "external dependencies" which contains "basetsd.h". this happened right after i created a bunch of pointers, but it compiled the same as before. i could use any help you can offer
