Alberto, which "free" piece of software are you referring to? Turbo C++ 2006 Explorer is available but requires the nightmarish .NET framework. C++ Compiler 5.5 is available and will work at Win2K level after much configuration so I probably can be coaxed to work with WinXP; but it is pretty dated. That's it aside from truly ancient stuff such as Turbo C and Turbo C++
