Thread: Running a program

This may seem as a really silly question but I'm just clueless. I'm really new to this and I recently downloaded the bloodshed Dev C++ compiler. However, when I tried running my program after compiling the page just blinks and nothing comes up. Info is supposed to be read from a file input.txt (I created the file) and the the results are supposed to be printed on a screen.

I'm really confused because I compiled and run the exact program at the lab at school but now I can't do it. I've tried compiling and running simple programs (eg. printing a sentence 10 times) as a test but the results still don't show. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Dunnno, but I use GCC not Bloodshed, I find it simpler to understand, it's just a compiler, there is no user interface etc to understand.
I got it from here:-

You might find it easier to get started with (although actually downloading and installing it might
be a little daunting!!).

Thanks for all the replies I did a quick board search...
