Don't be embarassed, this stuff takes a long time. I've been csounding 
off and on (mostly off) since 1992 and I still feel like a new user.

I don't use the windows version, but I've seen similar errors in linux 
when using Cecilia. Take a look at your score file at the line indicated 
(line 0). If the # symbol appears within a comment, I get an error. 
Maybe the windows version has the same trouble. For instance:

; This is a comment that causes no problems.

; This is a comment, call it comment # 1, that cecilia doesn't like.

Removing the # that appears within the comment makes the error go away. 
Interestingly, csound run at the linux command shell has no trouble with 
the second example...
