debug assertion failed

i keep getting the following error message:
program file: c:\programfiles\micros visual studio 8\vc\include\list line:776 expression:list erase iterator outside range

see the visuall c++ documentation on asserts
press retry to debug the application

 

I would try un-installing Visual Studio and then reboot and re-installation of Visual Studio.

 

where will i find visual studio i have looked in add remove programs but it isnt there

 

If there is no visual studio in your add/remove programs and the error shows it above then the question is do you have visual studio 8 install software?

 

sorry i am a beginer what shall i do
