#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

My VS 2008 Pro. shows error messages of missing header in all cases except if the header is stdafx.h. And, oh well, it's not like I'll only program in stdafx, anyway. So, any ideas about where the problem is and how to correct it? Thank you.

You must have accidentally changed the include directory folders. Or you might have de-selected the files when you installed VS. You can check if you have the proper directories specified in Tools->Options->Projects and Solutions->VC++ directories.

Thanks,CS Manoj for helping me out. I did just what you said (although I had to import a new environment first), and when I clicked the Check button, no message box showed or anything of that sort. I went through the Include folder in the Program Files, and found the files I was looking for, they didn't have the extension .h though. (They didn't have any extension!). I renamed them so that they include the extension and tried again. Not any better.

So, I imported them to my project's Headers folders, but it was in vain.

So, what's the next step?

Thanks a bunch!

Try turning off "Precompiled headers" when you create a new project.

And they're not supposed to have an extension.

Thanks. But, I'm a newbie (as everybody probably realized. ;p ) and I don't know how to do that exactly. Didn't find any "precompiled header" when creating a project.

When you create a new C++ project, rather than immediately hitting "Finish" on the wizard, hit "Next" and it'll present you with a bunch of options. One of those is "Precompiled Headers"

And like I said... You shouldn't have added the ".h" to all the headers in the include directory... They're not supposed to have it, and it will undoubtedly f*** s*** up.

Thanks, that worked!!!

For future reference, if you are using Precompiled Headers for any reason (though I hardly ever), in any source files you need only to include the specified header first. In this case, stdafx.h was the precompiled header generated by VS so it should be the first thing done in source files.
