oBFusCATed,
Thanks for your help.
I don't have gcc or vc++ on this computer. My other comp, (dont have access to right now) does have VS installed.
As far as the Debug -> start working it's never active. I try hitting F8 but that does nothing either. But then again, it might be where I'm trying to activate it but it shouldn't make a difference. One project I'm working on is a Console Project where Debug start never activates. However, when creating a WIN32 GUI project, I am able to debug, atleast run it to cursor, but not able to visually step through the code like I want.
