You still haven't initalized temp2.

By the way, here's what I think it should look like:
c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.             temp2 = -99;
  2.  
  3.  
  4.             while (number != SENTINEL)
  5.             {               // open while 3
  6.                 counter++;
  7.                 cin >> number;
  8.  
  9.                 if (number == -99) {
  10.                     break;
  11.                 }
  12.                 if (number < temp2 || temp2 == -99)
  13.                     temp2 = number;
  14.              }
Probably not the best way of doing it, but it works.
