You really need to move to a more modern C++ compiler. Microsoft recently 
terminated all support for VC++ 6.0. Boost developers are loosing interest 
in supporting it.

If cost is a concern, both the gcc compiler (via cygwin) and the Microsoft 
compiler (command line version) are available for free.
