In that case, you are better off using Code::Blocks as your IDE, and telling it to use the VC++2010 Express compiler. The 2005 IDE was too much for my machine back when I had only 512mb, so I know what it's like.

i must say there is 1 thing i dont like about VS2010 is that for the first 2-5 minutes it is slow, but after that there is no hassles.
it needs atleast a 1GB of ram and 1.6ghz processor

VC++ 6.0 was heavily broken and out of date when it was NEW, an that was 13 years ago!

MS used the bullshit excuse that it was a 'Windows Compiler' to try and hand wave away all it's faults. It didn't do many things properly, I can't remember if it came with a very broken implementation of the STL, or none at all?
You are only shooting yourself in the foot by using it. Use the new Visual C++ 2010 compiler with a different IDE, or use MingW (GCC for Windows).

It came with an incomplete, nonconforming variant of the C++ standard library, and no C++ compiler. Oh, it had a compiler it called C++, but it would not accept a lot of valid C++ source and the source it accepted was not C++. It was bizarre, considering the C++ standard was proclaimed prior to MSVC6 being released and Microsoft was a major contributor to the language standard. It was almost as if they were trying to be sneaky and trying to control the software development market through a twisted embrace-and-extend strategy, but the reality is far more mundane and consists of a lot of contract lawyers and lawsuits. I believe only the lawyers were successful.

Download the latest Microsoft compiler with the following download manager - Win SDK
Download the latest GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) for Windows here - TDM-GCC
Download Code:Blocks here - Code:Blocks. Don't download the MinGW one, as it includes an outdated version of GCC.
If you install the compilers to your machine before installing Code:Blocks, then the IDE should automatically detect them. Use Settings -> Compiler to pick which one you want to use
