Answer 1

I just experienced this problem and I noticed that if you just save your programs in a folder containing no spaces. My default folder was set in My documents so I made a folder in my F: Drive named programs and saved the programs in it and then compiled them. I didn't experience this error then :)

Answer 2

I solved my problem save the cpp file in a folder with no spaces. For example

Older path c:/Users/jorge santos/programa1.cpp

New path c:/Users/jorgesantos/programa1.cpp
