*make sure to use Windows Desktop version.
Was going to recommend CodeBlocks buts its not compatible for some reason. Oh well, Visual Studio is not bad by any means.

Use MinGW.
I hope you downloaded the one with the compiler packed in. Makes it easier for a beginner.
If you didn't, just re-download and install this one:
codeblocks-12.11mingw-setup.exe
