VS2010 compile errors. stdio.h(378): fatal error C1003: error count exceeds 100; stopping compilation

Ask Question

I uses the win7 x64 OS and VS2010. I encountered an error that looks like something gone wrong with the compiler or setting environments or something like that. It happened during my programming suddenly. At first, my program can be compiled successfully. Then, without any reason(or some reason I didn't realize) the program came out with a long list of errors mentioning "stdio.h"

Then I built a new project for test which is a win32 console application, I followed the default "new->project" procedure and the code is like this:

#include "stdafx.h"
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
    return 0;
This is the default code(named "test.cpp"). Then I compiled it, and the same list of errors came out. They are like follows:

I have tried to restart the VS2010 and restart the computer, but it didn't help. It's driving me crazy, can any body help? Thanks!
The "stdafx.h" is like this:
// stdafx.h : 标准系统包含文件的包含文件，
// 或是经常使用但不常更改的
// 特定于项目的包含文件
#pragma once
#include "targetver.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <tchar.h>
// TODO: 在此处引用程序需要的其他头文件
                // stdafx.h : 标准系统包含文件的包含文件， // 或是经常使用但不常更改的 // 特定于项目的包含文件 //  #pragma once  #include "targetver.h"  #include <stdio.h> #include <tchar.h>    // TODO: 在此处引用程序需要的其他头文件

                And we're going to want to see targetver.h also since it gets included right before stdio.h, where the first error happens.

                What happens if exclude <stdio.h>? Didn't you accidentally touch it? What is the date of the file?

What happens if exclude <stdio.h>? Maybe you accidentally  edited this file. What is the date of the stdio.h? 
You can try get etalon stdio.h and compare files (with WinMerge utility or similar). Meanwhile C++ programs can work without it, <iostream> will be enough.
