Personally, I'd recommend starting with BASIC or Ada. Both languages are extremely readable, so writing code is easy to understand with humans. BASIC (in some flavor) is free, but there are commercial compilers out there. Ada (using GNAT) is also free, with commercial compilers out there.
If I was to show you one of my programs, you'd be able to figure out what it did, without comments.

Old computers are getting to be a lost art. Here at Uncreative Labs, we still enjoy using the old computers. Sometimes we want to see how far a particular system can go, other times we use a stock system to remind ourselves of what we once had.

hmm, thread shows up as having an answer but none shows...
To continue:
Freely available:
Java : http://java.sun.com
C/C++: both Microsoft and Borland have free compilers. Search for VCToolkitSetup.exe on http://www.microsoft.com or freecommandlinetools.exe on http://www.borland.com
Perl: http://www.perl.org
Python: http://www.python.org
OpenGL: not a language, rather a toolbox. Included with all or most C++ compilers, available for other languages. http://www.opengl.org
Pascal: no free version that I know of for Windows based systems, at least no current one.
(Visual) basic: don't bother.
http://bdn.borland.com/museum/ has old Borland products for free download (free registration required). More for the curious than for serious study, they're not up to current ANSI/ISO standards (or for Pascal Borland's standards, Borland being the main Pascal compiler creator in the world today).
Many Unix/Linux versions come with C/C++ compilers built in as well as Python, Perl, and a lot of other languages.
