Need help w/C++

[suikojay]

Okay, I'm not sure what the problem is, but whenever I try to compile anything on my Standard Edition 6.0 C++ compiler, I get an error that says:
Error spawning cl.exe

And the wierd part is that it still says that even when I have done no coding whatsoever...I think I'm missing some files or something, since the C++ compiler I have at school runs everything perfectly...any help would be greatly appreciated.

I usually have that happen when I crash MSVC or my program crashes in debug and for some reason doesn't drop back to MSVC, it just freezes. All I have to do is restart my computer and things are fine. In your case you might want to uninstall then reinstall and see if that fixes your problem.

I had this problem when I reinstalled MSVC++ to a different directory than it was before. The solution is to uninstall VC++, delete all its remaining registry entries manually and then reinstall it.
