I have been there, I would like to make hello.exe (the HELLO WORLD! program). When I try to build it, it says "build failed". What could cause this, and what files do I need in my project?

Usually there's an error message in addition to the build failed one.

Type:
    dmc foo.c
from the command prompt.

Press [Start], and there's an item called [Command Prompt]. I suspect that you'd be well served by going to Barnes and Noble and picking out a tutorial book on using Windows. There are a number of operating system concepts like files, directories, environment variables, command prompt commands, paths, text editors, etc., you'll need to know in order to be successful in using command prompt tools like DMC.
