Hi Dave, 

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately compiling the code in VS2008 throws the same kind of errors + more! Did nobody ever come across these errors? The first lines seem to point towards a solution:

Please define _WIN32_WINNT or _WIN32_WINDOWS appropriately. For example:
1> - add -D_WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to the compiler command line; or
1> - add _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 to your project's Preprocessor Definitions.
1> Assuming _WIN32_WINNT=0x0501 (i.e. Windows XP target).

But I'm not sure what they mean.

Regards,

Alan.
