Can anybody recommend a c compiler for windows? I have searched a bunch on google but couldn't find any strictly for c.
All C++ compilers that I know of can also be used to compile C. gcc and Visual Studio C++ are the two most used, and both are available for "no money".

There are a number of variants of GCC that work on Windows, most notably MinGW and Cygwin.
Try the simple one: http://tinycc.org
If you are a begginer I'll recommand Dec C++
otherwise try GCC
DevC++ uses MingW32, a port of GCC.
How do you use tiny cc? When i start it it instantly closes.
Don't use Dev-C++, it's crap in comparison to Code::Blocks, and anyone who's used both recently will agree. Dev-C++ hasn't been updated since 2005.
Why don't try PellesC, one of the best pure C compilers/IDE, if not the best.
It comes with an excellent IDE, resource editor, debugger, assembler, full 32/64bit support, C99 compatibility, installer maker and extensive help. Also Pelles C creates ultra fast, small otimimized executables and it's free!
