I dont think so, its too old.
VS 5 -- VS 6 -- .NET 2003 -- .NET 2005
It must be having a lot of problems. But why not use the free IDE's out there ? Why are you so intent on using MS products ? Does your project involve too much MFC and all that ?

I still have VC 1.52C -- the last MS-DOS compiler. And it still works, if you want to write 16-bit console programs.
It doesn't really matter how old your compiler is if it does what you want it to do. But don't assume you can learn to write good c++ that meet current IOS standards with them because you can't.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

But the Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition is much better and free. So I usually recommend it.

i was just wondering as i found it in my drawer my parents apparently got it as part of a student thing when i was like 7 (what normal parents try to teach a child old c++?)
it complained a bit about "IE4 is not installed" and "You need NT4 SP3" on my XP system and blue screened it so i got out my NT4 floppies and put them to use on an old sytem

he he. Since you are trying to learn C or C++ I think it is better if you stick to a new compiler.
Get the Visual C++ Express Edition (A bit bulky download) or
DevCPP or
Visual Studio 2003 Command Line Toolkit (A command line compiler)
Assuming that you want to learn C/C++.

But it doesnt come with a compiler right? Don't you have to set a compiler that you have installed seperately?
Edit. No I checked you have the MingW compiler. Me bad.

modern versions i have:
VB.NET 2003 as well as all the express editons except VWD as i have XP home so no ASP
(by the way C++.NET is crap in my opinion)
VC 5/97 seems ok, ive been doing some console apps in it (one thing though is i dont think its ANSI compliant)
VB5 rocks IMHO, some things are easier than in .NET
The whole 250mb VS97 SP3 is available from ftp.microsoft.com still
