help needed building a c++ project
Hi All
I was hoping someone could help me with a problem i have. As part of my 3rd year project i'm developing a c++ project that was originally developed by someone else. The problem is i think it was developed on an older version of visual studio, and when i come to compile it now on visual studio 2005 i get the following errors, and i was wondering if someone could help me sort it out.

One of the problems is i know very little about c++ or visual studio, i'm new to it this year, but i do know c well, so i was hoping i could pick c++ up fairly quickly, but to start with i'd like to get the project building.
So to round up i was hoping someone could give some instruction on how to get this project building, also if anyone knows of any good c++ books, i'd be very greatful, preferably something a bit like a reference book, just saying what things do.
Thanks
Andy
