    You declared it as a single character before. Try this:

    Code:
    char * menuscreenv;

    new error

    assignment to `char' from `const char *' lacks a cast

    Code:
    menuscreenv[1250]="&&&&&&&&&&&-MENU-&&&&&&&&&&&&&&                   *\n&
    Surely you want it to be:

    Code:
    menuscreenv[]="&&&&&&&&&&&-MENU-&&&&&&&&&&&&&&                   *\n& "
    or something similar. By putting the subscript in you are trying to load all that text into one character position.

    but i got this error
    parse error before `]'
    I know if it says stuff like parse error before something it means im missing a semicolin or something like that, but it said before ] witch i was guessing it doesnt want to count the characters.

    the new error i just posted is for the same previous lines.

    cout << menuscreenv << endl;

    Gay error? I'd be upset too if my computer called me a gaylord. What compiler are you using?
