The Visual C++ compiler is extremely picky, there is probably nothing wrong with your code, but something in your code is provoking this nonsense. Try to &quot;re-adjust&quot; your code just a bit and still provide the same functionality, I'll bet the error will go away

in the begining on windows.h is some
#if !defined(__I_D0N_T_REMEMBER_EXACTLY_WHAT)
#define __I_D0N_T_REMEMBER_EXACTLY_WHAT
put the second line before including stdafx.h John Fill
