Error C2036 (unknown size) when creating default structure

cybermonkeyso (20)
I am porting the server-list of a game to my own system in order for players to connect to gameservers (since the old GameSpy system shut down in June).
I am having to access a function inside a class that currently does not have a default constructor, so I created it with CMultiPlayerMenu() {};, but however I am now getting this error:
Error 1 error C2036: 'SStoredServer *' : unknown size C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\include\vector 1628 1 GameDll

I have not touched the source file where this variable (a struct) is declared in, and I have absolutely no idea why I am recieving this error.
I've searched this on the internet, but however didn't find anything relevant to my issue- what exactly is wrong and how do I fix this?

SStoredServer is not used in the MultiplayerMenu.cpp file.

Sounds like std::vector wants to know its size.
Can you include SStoredServer's header at the top?

Edited the question to reflect the SStoredServer's header.

Er, I actually meant you should #include it at the top of your MultiplayerMenu.h file.
Also make sure <vector> is correctly included too.

Ah, my mistake.
It works properly now, but however I now get another error message (even after cleaning & rebuilding):

Error 12 error LNK1136: invalid or corrupt file C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis Wars\BinTemp\Win32\Profile\GameDll\FlashMenuObject.obj 1 1 GameDll

Weird you still get this error after cleaning up...
Tried manually deleting it? Note that this file is in the game's folder, maybe it's why it doesn't get cleaned up.
