On most systems  you d have to be trying fairly hard not to find   lt stdio h gt    to the point where the first reaction is  is  lt stdio h gt  installed    So  I d be looking to see if the file exists in a plausible location   If not  then your installation of Turbo C is broken  reinstall   If you can find it  then you will have to establish why the compiler is not searching for it in the right place - what are the compiler options you ve specified and where is the compiler searching for its headers  and why isn t it searching where the header is

Check your environment include path  The file is not in the locations pointed by that environment variable

First check whether the folder name is right or wrong since while you copying to one folder from other accidently it takes other folder address eg it  take C instead of F So from OPTION gt DIRECTORY change the folder name

Go to OPTIONS tab then select directories option then enter the particular path where your turbo c folder exists   Enter the path in all the four message boxes and it would start working like it did in my case  I have TurboC3 and all the files were together in one common root folder

Do this  Open your turboc2 folder you have tc exe file inside  beside this file you find another file as named as   tcinst exe   open it   You will see the installation menu   select as--  gt  Option  gt  Directory  gt  Include directory   Here you have to change the path of the directory to the path where your INCLUDE folder is located  Same way change the path to library directory also over restart your tc exe

Well  I ve been working backshift just spent about 6 hours trying to figure this out   All of the above information led to this conclusion along with a single line in dos prompt screen  when I exited the editor  go to the dos prompt my C  drive is mounted    I did a dir search and what I found was  the way in which I had mounted the C drive initially looked like this   mount c      and my dir did not list all files on the C drive only files within the turboc   folder   From that I had drawn the conclusion that my directories should look like    c  include  not   c  turboc   tc include  or   c  tc include  The real problem was the nature in which I had mounted the drive   Hope this helps someone   b mac

If you have problems like that  first of all your TC folder put in to the C   drive  after completing installation open turbo c blue screen  there is a OPTIONS  gt  Directories   in that you can see for option to set up path     include directories  you can set path there now   C  TC INCUDE libraries Directories  you can set path there   C  TC LIB if you want to store your output in BIN then you can set  C  TC BIN  otherwise you can set another path where you want to store your output     Finally you can give OK and finished processes   It will now work properly

Check if you have anything like those stdio h file and other header files under INCLUDE folder and LIB folder  LIB contains some files  In my case  I had the same issue but both of these folder were blank   good to know  Steps    Press  ALT   O   D  i e  press ATL  keep pressed  and then O english character  and then D   You ll see a popup window  This window will have values for INCLUDE and LIB directories  The by default value for these two boxes in the popup window are  Drive leter where you installed TC    i e  C   or D   or whatever followed by the path for INCLUDE and LIB folder  So  in my case    INCLUDE box was set to   C  TC INCLUDE  and LIB directory value box was set to   C  TC LIB   without quotes   Steps to resolve  Press ALT   C  Set your current directory as C  TC BGI Press ALT   O   D  and put    INCLUDE and    LIB in Include Lib directory values  and now    when you ll run your progress  you ll say thanks to me  I like the archduchess C fractal graphics that I m running on DOS Turbo C right now  Lol

Since you did not mention which version of Turbo C this method below will cover both v2 and v3    Click on  Options    Directories   enter the proper location for the Include and Lib directories
