Unable to open include file 'iostream'
Undefined symbol 'cout' in function main
Undefined symbol 'cin' in function main

help?

what do your includes look like you should have

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

try dev-c++ its free and its open to everyone you'll get lots of help with that compiler + it has alot of documentation,
also microsoft has free compilers on its site, msdn.microsoft.com, I don't know the exact address but look for it, they have
I think almost all the newer compilers there, sry but no ide but you'll manage, its a 100 meg download for each compiler though.

I suggest to you to check your compiler Library
