I want to learn how to program CGI. I'd prefer to learn it in C because I already know a little bit in it. Also I'd like to know where I could get a free compiler that runs on windows, and can compile C(I'd prefer it have some GUI).

Try Visual Studio, CodeWarrior, or GCC.

I always recommend Perl to people getting started with CGI programming. It takes a bit of getting used to, but Perl is very similar to C in some ways and there are TONS of examples out there if you get stuck.

If not, Borland has a free C++ compiler available. You might want to look into this.
