First suggestion: dont name a file/exe with a number; it doesn't properly 
identify the application.

Okay, this might sound dorky, but try scrolling up the error output 
window. Be sure you have all patches installed. If that doesnt work, try 
this (or you could try it right NOW):
Go to a command prompt and type:
c:\> cl one.c[pp]   (that's CL, not C1)

This will create a default console application and you'll get the error 
messages right to the dos win (you might want to switch into 50 line 
mode). If you want to capture output, try:
c:\> cl one.c[pp] > error.txt
