Oh, and Hello World!\n"; cin.get(); } then saved it as a txt file opened it in dev, saved it and then clicked compile and run. then it just closes instantly. i can just bairly see a dos window and then it close. i tried halting it with a while loop but that gaved me some cryptic error Visit www.crobasoft.com or you're a Noob.

Oh, and Hello World!\n"; cin.get(); system("PAUSE"); } Just curious, what did your while loop look like? Edited by the Author.

Oh, and Hello World!\n"; cin.get(); } while(1); i dont know if it's different in c++ but i just thought it was worth a try Visit www.crobasoft.com or you're a Noob.
