    It's on my comp and I never really bothered to learn how to use it. I need it to write some C code but it doesn't seem to support it. In my programming class we use VS 6.0

    I'm not quite sure if I understand your problem. You should be able to program in C using Visual C++ 2008 (which is part of Visual Studio 2008).

    Could you describe your problem in more detail?

    The build/link/compile buttons are missing. The help files say to type " cl simple.exe " minus quotes in command prompt (command window?) to compile code but when i do that it says " cl " command isn't valid.

    Why don't you just try a free C compiler/ide? There're plenty about that are available under the GCC...

    I've tried a few and they seem broken in Vista.
