I just purchased a new computer which has Windows Vista Home Premium on it and was just wondering what C++ compilers work with it. I tried using Code::Blocks and I was getting an error about mingw not being able to run something, is there a way to get codeblocks to work or is codeblocks not compatable?

You can use Microsoft's free Visual C++ Express Edition:

And there is also a Windows Vista patch near the bottom of the page for it.

ok, do you know if there is a way to get code::blocks to work with my vista or is it not possible.

you know code::blocks has their own forums right? Less than 10 minutes of browsing and I found a post which ended up linking to this post. Hope that covers some of your problems. Also, in the future, say what error you were getting rather than just saying "there was an error." That's pretty vague.
