hello again,
just tried to compile my project and i'm getting errors with a file cstdlib

Error 2 error C2039: 'abort' : is not a member of '`global namespace'' c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\cstdlib 23
Error 3 error C2873: 'abort' : symbol cannot be used in a using-declaration c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\cstdlib 23
Error 4 error C2039: 'exit' : is not a member of '`global namespace'' c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\cstdlib 26
Error 5 error C2873: 'exit' : symbol cannot be used in a using-declaration c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\vc\include\cstdlib 26

i have no idea whats causing these errors so far as i'm aware i'm not even using cstdlib
