I have just read the first chapter of Teach Yourself c++ in 24hours my question is:

I have downloaded a compiler and editor from download.com and the task for the first chapter is to run Hello.cpp which is supposed to be my first ever programme.

I having trouble doing this so can someone kindly tel me exactly how I can accomplish this task and if I have downloaded the correct tools.

I know this is very basic but I need start getting on the next chapter but your help will be appreciated.
