    Strange mmsystem error

    Hi, I'm currently working off a tutorial, but I can't get past the 3rd line of code This is my code so far:
    Code:
    #pragma comment (lib, "dsound.lib")
    #pragma comment (lib, "winmm.lib")
    
    #include <mmsystem.h>  //<----------
    #include <dsound.h>
    When I try to compile, I keep getting this error:
    Code:
    (...)/mmsystem.h(113) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'MMVERSION'
    (...)/mmsystem.h(113) : fatal error C1004: unexpected end of file found
    I'm pretty sure all the proper libs are linked, at least all the ones mentioned in the tutorial, unless the #pragma comment isn't the correct way to do it (?). The program compiles fine if I comment out the "#include <mmsystem.h>". Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong, or should I reinstall my compiler/sdk?
    Just Google It. √

    Looks like it's hanging on the UINT. Try including <windows.h> before <mmsystem.h>.
