I figured it out!! I think...but I don't know how to fix it. For some reason I
don't have access to MS-DOS, which is where console applications are run. I
found this out by trying to follow your suggestion, but I got this error:

MS-DOS-Prompt.pif is unavailable, removed, or unaccessible, and something about
a device attached is not functioning. So how do I get MS-DOS back. I don't
remember messing with MS-DOS since I don't ever use it or mess with my Systems
folder.

Now I can't get MS-DOS to work at all!! How do I reinstall MS-DOS on my
computer?? This doesn't have to do with C++, but I need MS-DOS to work in order
to make a console application.
