MS gave me a courtesy call on a non-supported product. The engineer spent two or
three phone calls
that he initiated and we swapped files via ftp. We couldn't link .obj files from my
assembler to C++.
Maybe you need to talk nice nice. I think I spoke with Joshua after the first
engineer gave up. I wrote the name down, but it's temporarily gone. You might get
lucky with the gee, I got screwed, please help me approach. Explain that you wan't
it to run so that you can decide if you want to buy the  Proffessional edition. You
really like MS and don't wan't to have to change to Borland. ( That would hurt their
stock value.)

By the way, you compile source code into .obj files and link .obj files into .exe ,
.com, .dll, etc. Each .cpp file is compiled into a .obj

You might have an old  .dll from another app getting used accidentally. If your
system has a resource problem, you'll get this kind of crap also. I get low memory
problems during a build if Netscape is running. I used to have a kernel32.dll with a
memory leak. Make sure you have all the updates for Win95 and your system. Did you
screw with the project options? Try the defaults. I'd have to be there to go any
furthur, but let me know what works in case it happens to me.

How much was the learning edition? If it was close to the Prof Ed. ($400- $500, I
think) You bought the wrong one. I hate it when they don't supply enough info to
make a wise decision. Does the learning edition really help you learn? If so, I
might be worth it. I haven't read the boxes lately and don't remember the diffs. Let
me guess - no release version, just debug, right?
