Please post your source code so that we can see what it looks like... we
can't tell you what's up without the source.

However, this is what a program for "Hello, World" should look like:

(Using the printf method:)

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	printf("hello, world");
	return(0);
}

(or, using cout):

#include <iostream.h>
 
int main()
{
	cout << "hello, world";
	return(0);
}
