Ugh.
You should try the gcc (http://gcc.gnu.org/) (GNU Compiler Collection) C++ compiler, it's generally recognised as being far superior and is Free (as in speech) as well as free (as in beer). It's also cross-platform. If you're running Windows, there's a copy included with Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). Otherwise, it's probably included with your OS. If not, tell us what your OS is and I'll search around for you.
