Hey all.
Awhile back I bought a C++ book. I read it a bit but when I went to use the compiler disk it kinda didn't work so I kinda broke it. <.< I'm just wondering if anyone knows where I could get a decent compiler so I can begin to relearn it.
(NOTE: I bought the book about three years ago. It has taken me along time to get back into it. Lol.)

http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html it's a nice IDE with MingW and GCC. Enjoy.

Borland owns compilers.

The same thing happened to me ( I got C++ For Dummies, didn't understand a word)

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm using the bloddshed one and it's quite nice. Although I can't program a god damn thing due to the header files are different from the ones that the book says. -.-

I guess the DevC++ thing is fine for small projects however I had the misfortune of using it on a larger one. I wasted many many hours hunting bugs I already fixed due to the fact that it poorly detects what object code needs to be updated and failed to compile all the changes I made without doing a complete rebuild. I suggest going with Visual C++ 2005 express edition. You won't get a better free C++ IDE.
