Does anyone know of where I can get some free programs that you use to make other programs with using C++ ?(Using Windows 2000)

http://gcc.gnu.org/ <-- Free C compiler, has C++ module as well
Notepad will do the trick for a text editor. You may prefer something like JEdit

Or even UltraEdit who works for anything (almost)

easy to use text editor that makes compiles and linkes with the press of one button. then you just run your program. it automatically tabs (but poorly). the only thing i can't get it to do is opengl (probably just my fault for being stupid lol).

Windows

http://www.bloodshed.net/ is an OK compiler
I use Borland = ) Works like a dream

Linux

I use emacs to write the code then save it as .C
then G++ name.C -o name
