ATMega328P Bootloader Help

When I try to upload the ISP sketch to my Arduino this is the error message I receive:

C:\Arduino\hardware\arduino\variants\standard/pins_arduino.h:41: error: expected unqualified-id before numeric constant

You're not getting as far as "uploading" anything. The errors you are seeing are COMPILE errors that happen before the upload even starts. You shouldn't get compile errors in the core arduino files (like pins_arduino.h) when compiling the example programs (like ArduinoISP.pde) ; I don't know what is going on, and we're having enough communications issues that I'm not sure how to help (are we really on page 2 of this conversation without your telling us which version of the IDE you're using, and without anyone asking?) Which version of the IDE are you using? Do any of the trivial examples (like Blink) compile? Let's ignore Atmel studio, and bootloading, for a while and concentrate non figuring out why your Arduino IDE doesn't seem to be working at all...

The ideal help for a situation like this is a local wizard, perhaps at a hackerspace or school. You wouldn't happen to have one of those nearby?
