I'm using visual c++ 6 (as part of visual studio 6), and this morning it was all working fine. I added another line of code in to my program then tried recompiling it, but the output window stopped at 'Compiling...' and never went any further. The 'stop build' button did not work, so I had to end visual studio from task manager. This evening when I got home and turned my pc on I tried starting a brand new workspace and project with that 'hello world' template. Trying to compile that gave the same problem, and so did compiling programs which I have previously compiled with no problems. It seems that the compiler is somehow messed up. Is there anything I can do to fix this, or do I need to reinstall? I'm new to c++ (only just started learning about it in Uni, but I know other programming languages).

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it now, but the issue is still there. What else could be the problem?

Nevermind I've sorted it now

Marty - You should let other people know how you 'sorted' it. You ain't a Yank, are you? Guy

Just had to disable nwiz from the msconfig list, something was conflicting there. Just wasn't sure if people actually read this post or not, wanted to see if anyone would reply like you did :P
