VC++ 2008 Compiler

Is there something I had to download because when I try to compile I get many errors. 42 errors to be exact. Am I better off getting Visual C++ 2005 or another one besides 2008 because I am seeing alot of people using VC++ 7.1.

The documentation that comes with Torque does have a section specific to: Installing Visual C++ 2008 Express.
I would suggest you start there first and make sure you follow the instructions correctly. Also if you give us some of your errors we can hopefully point you in the right direction ... but make sure you have followed the instructions in the documentation correctly first.
