Reply:I do not recommend XP to use with C language.


C language are better off with DOS OS.


Goto Borland (borland.com) for FREE compiler.





XP has different memory allocation already and limits access to it. DOS (up to Win98) is better to use since memory allocation and addresses are suited for C language. XP is 32bit already while C is 16 bit, C++ is 32bit but you want C.
Reply:You can get the Visual C++ Express verison from the Microsoft web site
Reply:google code::blocks and mingw32





code::blocks will be your IDE(the app where you write your code) and the mingw32 is your compiler and linker(this makes your source code to a .exe file)..





they are what im using in my game development.. :)
