hey mate,
all depends upon what platform your running,
if Windows (and I'm sure I will receive vicious rebuke for this) but Visual Studio is an excellent C++ compiler for .NET 2.0 applications.
If Linux, I recommend Eclipse (actually for windows aswell), it is a freeware IDE (major Advantage over Visual Studio) that is easy to use and has a ton of tutorials on the net.
Good luck with C++, its a pain in the **** at the best of times,
David

There are several good compilers. Some of them are GCC. I'm going to link you to two lists of free c/c++ compilers.
http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/cpp.shtml
http://www.freebyte.com/programming/cpp/
Notice GCC is on the list more than twice on both of them.
I recommend GCC, the borland compilers and Digital Mars -- command line version although there is one problem with that which is the C++ commands are in a separate zip file you not only have to install carefully (you have to unzip stlport.zip, read about where you want to move the resulting directory, move it there, then compile things with a syntax so complicated I ended up writing a batch file I called dmcpp.bat to compile programs with. It is still worth all that hassle.
You can also download a live cd using Linux or Unix such as freesbie ( http://www.freesbie.org ) or dyne:bolic ( http://www.dynebolic.org ) which will provide you with already installed GCC-optimized programming environments. Of course you are learning to use a different operating system but it's already installed.

Don't confuse advanced with complicated. Microsoft's cl.exe is a good compiler, all the surrounding libs are usually the problem. Check out http://gcc.gnu.org/
