Visual C++ cannot find "windows.h"

The only problem is when I try to compile it my compiler, Visual C++ 2005, cannot find "windows.h". Does anyone have any idea why this would be or what I can do to fix it?

My understanding is that the Express Edition does not have the ability to create native windows applications - you'll need the platform SDK. Of course, if this is not the Express Edition, there's another problem. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost....04&SiteID=1
