Hello there, I was wanting to have a try at c++ tonight but it was quickly ruined after the first hello world practise. I’m using microsof visual c++ 2010 express on Windows 7 64bit.

I’m using the following code:

```auto

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{

	cout << "hello world!" << endl << endl;
	system("Pause");

	return 0;
}

```

Pretty sure that is fine, the error even shows up when there is no code in the function at all.

The error:

```auto

The program '[6436] test.exe: Native' has exited with code -1073741510 (0xc000013a).

```

Had a look at the paths and all the files are there.  
I think this has something to do with using 64bit or something…

Any help would be appreciated.
