C++ Software Question!

Hello all! I learned C++ in high school in 2004 and was just now getting interested in it again and wanted to try some more stuff with it. I went and downloaded Visual C++ from the Microsoft website but it is wayyyy different than what I learned. I assume its because of the "Visual" part of it, but im not sure. Does anyone know where I can find just the normal C++ software that I probably would have used in 2004? Thanks!
You have it all wrong really. By "visual" they mean, "Hi, we do all the repetive stuff and organize you". It's a really great program, you should have used the same thing in 2004. Or maybe you used notepad and Borland C++ compiler?
Actually i found out how to make it do the stuff I did before :) dumb mistake. But I do have one more question. Once I run the hello program, the box just comes up and disappears. how do i make it stay up until i want it to close?

Try Ctrl + f5. I think that just runs it without debug.
i think in 2004, you used Visual c++ 6.0(1998), the other version of VS came out 2003,2005, 2007, 2003 was not so popular when u compare to 1998 probably the compiler u used must be visual c++ 6.0,
try to search on internet for visual c++ 6.0
