For some reason Visual C++ keeps saying missing argument list and than points to the red line.

Can you post the exact error message(s)?

Sure.

Error:

1>c:\documents and settings\sinister smile\my documents\visual studio 2005\projects\pongtest1\pongtest1\main.cpp(191) : error C3867: 'Paddle:addle': function call missing argument list; use '&Paddle:addle' to create a pointer to member

That fixed it, thanks!
