I dunno about a free compiler, but I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2003, it seems alright, but I downloaded one of the tutorials posted here in the files and I can't get any of the files to compile like they should and I don't understand why. It just doesn't offer me the option to compile or build them for some reason.
Huh? Nobody has mentioned gcc by it's self? http://gcc.gnu.org/ It's like the standard c++ compiler, besides being open source and free. And you don't have to fill you computer with the tons of junk that comes with visual studio and other IDE's. I'm not against large IDE's, but they can really make things look complicated, especially for someone that is just starting c++.
If you want an IDE, I would recommend eclipse and the CDT plugin.

Gcc is almost only possix compilant, and therefore can't run on Windows...
The port is called mingw and comes with the dev C++ compiler.
it can be downloaded from www.bloodshed.net....
can also try "trubo C"....
