Hi abs, and welcome to PC Mech

Haven't tried that compiler, but I think it's pretty old, this could be the reason, why not try a newer version:
http://www.borland.com/products/down..._cbuilder.html (download page, click on compiler ver 5.5)
http://cplus.about.com/od/compilersa.../aa031502a.htm (usage instructions)

Or even better, check out DevC++, which has a more standards-friendly compiler (gcc), and an IDE with code highlighting and completion:
