    Are you including correct headers? It should compile whichever version of MSDN it is because it's the same documentation.

    Outside of your DOS world, your header file is meaningless.

    If you are working with VC++2005 Express - you need the Windows SDK install as well
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
