Turbo c++ compiler for windows 7 free download 32 / 64 bit

When you try to run turbo c++ IDE on latest version of windows like windows7 or Vista, you might get the error message that 'The system does not support full screen mode. Choose close to terminate the application.'

The problem is that Turbo C is an ancient product which has not been maintained for several years. It cannot produce programs which will run on 64 bit windows; nor will the program itself run on 64 bit Windows; it is a 16 bit application. NTVDM (the subsystem which allows backward compatibility in Windows NT to run 16 bit apps) is completely removed in 64 bit versions of Windows
