You are not including the right header, cout is defined in <iostream> in the namespace std::!

[vixjmet]

I have #include <iostream> in "stdafx.h"

No, #include <iostream> is to be called in YOUR project, not stdfx(w/e). So it'd be,

#include <iostream>
#include stdafx.h

int main()
{
blah

return 0;
}

k?

EDIT:

Of couse you can do it this way;

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
cout << "wtf" << endl;
return 0;
}

//yerp

no it wont work, I was curious about this:
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\ostream(742) : error C2144: syntax error : 'char' should be preceded by ';'

so I went at c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\ostream and at line 742 it was char _Elem without a ';' , I really dont know how it was manipulated but after I put the ';' after Elem everything is working fine now.
Thank you for your time anyway ...
