not sure about compatibility with Turbo C, but quite possibly best free C/C++ IDE for Windows is DevC++. It is based on GNU C++ compiler, so if you are using standard C/C++ code, it should compile without a problem...

You wont need to do any elaborate setting up for input/output path, etc. I installed it, wrote a sample program, compiled it and executed it without setting up any parameters/directory locations... See documentation provided for any guidance, if not post again in this thread...

Ya i too use Dev c++.The only disadvantage is that it takes some time to load.However it is fully GUI based-u dont need to compile and run in command line like most fast compilers.So its easier.
