Hi there does anyone know any links or have info on sites that have downloads of free compilers for C or C++ programming? I got the Borland 5.5 but then couldn't find anywhere to register it at the site after looking around for ages. I'd preferably like a compiler that will just install with an install wizard as i'm new to computers and don't really know how to make new directories/paths etc.

I tried installing the Borland 5.5 like i said but i don't think it was compatible for WindowsME and thats the OS i'm on.

(actually if theres any links to Java compilers i'd be happy with that aswell but the JavaSun compiler won't install either.)

It's slowly turning into a nightmare because i just want to start learning how to write with C/C++/Java instead of just learning HTML and i haven't got a clue where to start with Javascript either. I can't wait to get past this nightmare/can't even install the damn compiler stage and start learning stuff.

Thanks if you can help with this.
