Visual Studio 2010 linker crashes

[Turda Alexander]

First the project was created in 2004,and its the source code from the book:
http://www.amazon.co...ine programming

I use Visual Studio 2010.

When I try to compile with incremental linking on:

1>------ Build started: Project: Pandoras Legacy, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------

It also appears: Microsoft Incremental Linker has stopped working.


With incremental linking deactivated:
