title: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'iostream': No such file or directory
body: <p>I've reinstalled Visual Studio 2010 Professional several times to try to get it to work.
  I had to uninstall Visual Studio 2012 Professional because it wasn't compiling something we did in class. </p>
  
  <p>I completely uninstalled everything including SQL Server..</p>
  
  <p>I went to VC/include and the iostream header file is not there.</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include &lt;iostream&gt;
  
  int main () {
  
  cout &lt;&lt; "hello";
  
  system ("PAUSE");
  return 0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is all I'm trying to do because nothing else is working.</p>
  
  <p>It's really driving me crazy because I need to get it working so that I can do my project!!!</p>
  
  <p>Every time I do; new project => empty project => add an item to source =>.cpp</p>
  
  <p>I'm running windows 8.</p>
  
  <p>It just says Error cannot open source file
  Also, error cout identifier is undefined....</p>
  
  <p>I'm wondering if I should do a system restore?
  Or if I should just completely reinstall windows 8 from my recovery media?</p>
