<p>I need to know where i can get a free version of C and C++ compilers for Windows Vista. Many of the versions i have tried are not working in fullscreen mode.</p>

Please take a look at
visual studio 2008 express edition
.
It is a freeware IDE and compiler from Microsoft for C#, VB.Net, C++, SQL, and web.
The Express line is a lightweight version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 product.
I believe it has full screen support in the IDE.
See the
wikipedia page for further reading
