Dev C++ Executables Crash

So I've just recently begun programming in C using Dev C++, but when I try and execute a program I compile with it the command prompt flashes quickly and just disappears. This happens both within the program and without.
Here's what I'm trying to run, just the simple "Hello World" program:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
      printf("Hello World\n");
}

---

You need to force the program to wait.
Put this at the bottom:
printf("Press any key to continue...");
_getch();
Any keystroke will satisfy this "wait" and continue the program - which promptly ends.

Stop using Dev. It is obsolete, no longer supported and generally crap. Use Pelles or Codeblocks for C programming.

Open a command shell in your working directory and run the program from the command prompt...
