Their other thread was closed for being a crap thread - this one is somewhat better.

Unless you are using Dev-C++ in Win-XP, you are beating a dead horse.
Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 is nearly six (6) years old and without updates or bug fixes during that time.
In 2005, the developer abandoned further work on the Bloodshed project.
In 2005, Dev-C++ worked (with caveats (known bugs and issues)) on XP and prior.
Dev-C++ has known installation and linker problems with Vista and may not work on Win-7 at all, (to my knowledge).
Considerable discussion has taken place at the Dev-C++ forum regarding the problems.
Today, very few people use Dev-C++ for these reasons.

A better choice for a C++ compiler would be MinGW with Code::Blocks.
