HI WEL I USE BORLAND C++. BUT IT IS SUPPOSED TO WORK ON ANY VERSION OF C++. JUST VERIFY THIS
1. ARE ALL YOOUR HEADER FILE ON A SINGLE FOLDER. MAYBE YOU COULD HAVE INSTALLED IT NOT PROPERLY.
IN TURBO C++ I USE #INLCUDE<CONIO.H>
AND I USE CLRSCR();
TRY IT ON YOUR DEV C++. BY THE WAY CAN ANYBODY TELL WATS THIS DEV C++. IS IT ANY DIFFERENT FROM TURBO OR BORLAND C++ :lol:

DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS.
Look at the big button on your keyboard marked "Caps Lock". Press it until the CAPITAL LETTERS go away.

clrscr() is a presumptuous Borland fetish. Not every user of your program wants it!!!
In Dev C++ you can use system("CLS") to do the trick, the old DOS command. Include the stdlib.h for the system() function.
By the way, Dev C++ is a very nice IDE for a set of open source GNU compilers (mainly GCC and G++). The IDE comes in Windows and Linux versions. For Linux CLS has to be replaced with something else.

May 'the Google' be with you!
not at all a fetish, just overused by people that read tutorials by other people who abused it 
There can be good reason to use it, for example if you were creating a fullscreen DOS application in Turbo Vision and wanted to clean up after yourself when terminating it.
