Please Help - Problem with Compilers

**toonlover** · 07-22-2005

Can someone help me? I formatted my computer, I mean it is like new...but then I installed Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 and then Visual Studio 6.0 Service Pack 6. If it were that this (programs) didn't new the language. Then I tried this code:

Code:

#include <windows.h>

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpcmdline,
				   int cmdshow)
{
	MessageBox(NULL, "MESSAGE BOX TEXT", "MESSAGE BOX", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
	return (0);
}

But it gave me 42 errors...why?? I made the project as a Win32 Application and not Console...why is this?? Well Please someone help me...I tried it with Dev-C++ too...but it gaves me a lot of errors too...Why is this happening?? Here are the errors for Visual C++ 6.0 with Service Pack 6.0:

Code:
