yea yea, im a noob, w/e... but look, i just recently (1 week ago) went into windows instead of dos programming... anyway, im startin with little non-game programs but i''m gettin this annoyin-@$$ error... in my resource file, which btw was automatically generated by VC++6, there is a placce where there is a class ''LANGUAGE'' used for the line ''LANGUAGE LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US''. i keep gettin this error: ''f:\microsoft visual studio\myprojects\program3\program3.rc(20) : error C2501: ''LANGUAGE'' : missing storage-class or type specifiers'' any help would be appreciated thx LiveWireRaislam - Sean

Sounds like it''s trying to compile the resource file as a source file. Have you modified the code at all?

the resource file is in the resource folder of the project and i tried modifying the code b4, but i jus got more errors, so i recreated the project and got this error again... is there a particular file that has the ''LANGUAGE'' class in it? maybe i should just add another include file

Service pack 5?

whats service pack 5?

*bump*

aight, look... the simplest way i can get this question answered is by putting up the code generated by VC++6 and asking one of you to compare it to yours... so, could someone create a simple menu and look at the .rc file and tell me if it looks similar to this code (and if not, what is different):

Why don''t you just totally remove that line and see what happens?
