Changing Compiler for use in Windows 8.1

[preistofPosidon]

Hello all,
I am new to this forums and to C::B.
I have recently switched both my IDE and my computer, and as most know, it is very hard to get a new PC without getting Windows 8.
Because of this, my previous compiler is not working, i get the error 'g++.exe has stopped working'
I know that this is because of the new OS, and have downloaded a new compiler:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/

 But have absolutely NO IDEA how to change the default compiler so that I can compile my programs again.
How do you do this?
