A program in C usually compiles to a regular .exe on Windows, so Windows Vista Home 64 bit (or any other Windows system, for that matter) should run a program written in C just fine. The thing is that you shouldn't count on Windows having a C compiler installed by default (unlike Linux or Mac which typically come with gcc pre-installed), so you won't be able to compile C source code on your machine unless you install a compiler separately. The difference between source code and a compiled .exe is that source code is human-readable and editable in any simple text editor like Notepad, while a compiled .exe looks like gibberish in a text editor. If in doubt as to whether a C program file on your computer is source code or not, you can check the extension (C source files usually end in ".c"; compiled C files often end in ".exe", or more generally just something that's not ".c") or try to open it in Notepad. There are a variety of C compilers available for Windows Vista, such as Bloodshed (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html) and MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/). I think this means that your TurboC isn't working properly. Use something newer!
