try reinstalling codeblocks or you can try any other IDE.

Since you are just learning C and are in search for a good debugger, I suggest Visual Studio 2010 Express version which is free. Though it has a non-standard compiler (which is quite close to C99 standards), it can be a very good combo for learning C/C++.

Later when you are comfortable with C/C++, you could use CodeBlocks with GCC, a compiler that is standards compliant and cross platform (meaning it work on UNIX and UNIX-like environments too).

Here is the link: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Dow....aspx#2010-All

It works with all version of Windows from XP till 7 and both 32-bit as well as 64-bit. You don't need any other software. It's an ISO file which you either need to mount or extract for the setup files. This version is free for use.

I am supposing you are looking for a free version of the compiler and GCC is a free an open source C compiler. You can move to this compiler a bit later when you are comfortable with C and C++.
