i recommend Borland C++ copiler or DEV-cpp and crimson editor as an IDE...

I recommend Dev-C++ for Windows, and gcc for Linux systems. Dev-C++ is an IDE, but it comes with a compiler too. And yes, it's free

i would have recommend dev-cpp, but the IDE left my with a lot to want, there spacing schemes and all were off, i prefer crimson editor, and as for compiler, dev-cpp uses migwin, which are ports of the gcc library to windows, so a lot is left out, but the borland compiler has over 1000 headers, all native to windows, to choose from... as for on a linux system, gcc works best...

Hi
Can anybody tell me from where to download the free C++ Compiler compatible with windows vista. I have downloaded DEV C++ one, but after typing the program when I hit compile there is no result shown anywhere....
