Thread: how do I make visual studio 2003 compile?

It's been answered to me before, and I had the answer written down on WordPad until my computer's memory was wiped out. Also I haven't used the information in a while so I forgot the answer.

The question is this-when I am using Visual Studio 2003 to compile something in C or C++, how do I get it to stop saying "unexpected end of file while looking for precompiled header directive"? I know I need to turn off a setting that makes the compiler look for those directives, but I don't know how to get to the thing that lets me turn it off. Thanks ahead of time to anyone who answers this question.

The setting is in the project properties, under C/C++->Precompiled Headers.

When you create a new project, switch to the Application Settings tab and check the empty project checkbox so that precompiled headers will be turned off from the start.
