My first choice is Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition or the full version of Visual Studio 08 whichever you have. Apart from that Relo IDE with Borland C++ compiler (free version) works great. Dev C++ with mingW compiler is also good. Try these, ill post some others later that i am forgetting at this time :)

I guess you want to run TurboC ?

In that case, download DosBox and run in that :)

^Well, if he's a student and really needs to have Turbo C/C++ ide, then only he should go for it. Otherwise its a really crap IDE with no support for current standards. It makes you learn wrong programming methodologies. A newer, modern 32bit C/C++ compiler is strongly recommended in place of that.

Hmm, ok, if you need to run the dos based Turbo C/C++ compiler, the running it inside DosBox is your best bet. Runs fine on it.

using DOSBOX lets you to write the codes in fullscreen IDE but output will still be displayed in small window.(as far as i know)
