First tip, don’t panic! Even though you are getting hundreds of errors it could be one simple thing that is causing all of these. When you get a big list of errors, always start with the first one on the list then rerun the level and take the next first (this works 98% of the time).

My guess is that you are not including a file you need, or the files are not included in the right order. Look at the first error, now check to make sure that the function/var it calls has been declared before it appears in this place.
Hey Doug, I agree. Let me give you the example. Let's say that I'm using Visual C++ 6. When I work with code that uses MFC, and when I compile a program, I would get like--maybe hundreds of erors (maybe 200+ or 300+). So, what I do is I go to the first error message, wheither it will mention "invalid syntax" or "forgot ';'", or "missing bracker '}'". Once I fix that and compile the code, I may still get more than hundreds of error. OR, I may get less than 50 erros! Even 20 or less! So, it's a good idea to work with the first error that came up in your screen rather than working with 2md error, or 7th error, or vice versa.

Oh, and by the way, not to get off-topic but I have Visual C#.net instead of Visual C++ 6. I'm just giving you the example of how I can fix those errors in VC++ 6.
