Jenna:
Do the executables really exist in C:\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin ?

If you have a MinGW installation in any \MinGW-folder on any drive, it can interfere with other MinGW installations.
Either (re-)move it or use this installation.
That's not the cause for your problem, it only affects you, if you compile and/or link.

stahta01:
Did I miss the version of Code::Blocks installed?
If it was 8.02 or before the Compiler would not work on Windows 7.
Oops, he said 10.05 in first post.

Well - it seems you have two compilers installed or one of these folders is empty. Most likely the folder C:\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin is empty. This would explain the message in C::B.

Yes, I am positive. I checked several times.

I removed the the other MinGW folder located in the C: drive. I have 2 because one of the solutions to this problem(according to a different forum) was to download the compiler separately and put it in the C: drive which didn't work.

No, that folder is not empty.

MortenMacFly:
Ok, assuming you've removed the C:\MinGW folder completely, do the following on a command prompt:

C:
cd \CodeBlocks\MinGW
dir /B /S > files_cb.log

Then attach this file (files_cb.log) and your default.conf file (C::B's configuration) as well as a tiny test project where this happens as a zipped file to this post.
