Hello All!
I wrote a small Hello World! program that of course, displays "Hello World!" to the console screen. Just to tinker a bit I added a few more messages which are separated by a pause function and a clear screen function, the latter of which makes a call to the Windows API and uses the windows.h header. When I compile my app as a 32-bit console program it compiles and works perfectly. However, when I try to build it as a 64-bit console app I get the following errors:

If you are compiling a Windows program, make sure you use the /Ze option!

Done.

The number of errors is actually over 100. I just shortened them here for space and they all refer to winbase.h. Here is my current congiuration when trying to compile an x64 console app.

My code is insignificant to the error produced. If I have only one line of code such as
printf("Hello World!\n)";
without calling the 'pause' or 'clrscrn' functions and I still get the same errors simply by having #include <windows.h> in my directives and compiling it as an x64 console app. When I compile it as an x86 console app, all works well.
Am I missing a necessary compiler switch or setting somwhere for x64 compilation that I'm not aware of?
Thanks in advance!!!
INFO UPDATE:
I forgot to mention earlier that I'm using the new version 8.00.7 RC3. Is there any chance this might be a minor bug with the pre-defined compiler settings not agreeing with the windows header files supplied with Pelle's C?
I have since tried the exact same code compiled to x64 in Code::Blocks using the MinGW compiler, in C++Builder XE6, and in Visual C++ 2013. It worked flawlessly with all three but I really like Pelle's C a lot better than those, so I want to tried and get this solved ASAP...
