I don't think linking files is your problem, most likely it is either your code or the compiler you are using. The simple basic "hello world" C++ program is:
Code:
#include <iostream.h>
int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
return 0;
}
As for a compiler, when I was a windows user I used Borland C++, which I thought was the best at the time. However, I currently use g++, and I think there is a windows equivalent named DJGPP or something like that. I suggest you look at that or the free Borland C++ compiler I keep hearing of.
