Perhaps you're missing a config file.

i reccomend using Dev-C++ over Borland for beginning programming, iots free and available at www.bloodshed.net but anyways if that did run it would run and close instantly try this when you fix your prob:

Code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
// the above makes it so you dont have to do std:: befor cout cin endl etc..

int Main()
{
     cout << "I Work" << endl;
     cin.get(); // waits for the user to press enter before continuing
     return 0; // exit the program, because Main is a int it must return a integer, by returnng 
     // 0 it ends the function, in essance 0 on success anything else on fail
}

i hope it helps
