So of course I downloaded the version that came with the compiler and it didn't work. Heres what I did:
1) go to settings in the upper part
2) click compiler
3) choose reset to defaults.

Hopefully this works  :-\

Kudos Bro Finally It worked for me too.

Uncreative:
I tried the first method suggested (restoring to defaults) and it didn't work. I think this was because there was no gnu gcc exe file. Then I tried the second method, downloading the compiler from online, and Code::Blocks did recognize the compiler, but when I tested the compiler on the default Hello World program, I got this error message:

-------------- Build: Debug in Starter project (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler)---------------

mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions -g -pedantic -Wextra -Wall  -c "C:\Users\ALEX\Desktop\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\images\Projects\Starter project\main.cpp" -o obj\Debug\main.o
Execution of 'mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -fexceptions -g -pedantic -Wextra -Wall  -c "C:\Users\ALEX\Desktop\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\images\Projects\Starter project\main.cpp" -o obj\Debug\main.o' in 'C:\Users\ALEX\Desktop\CodeBlocks\share\CodeBlocks\images\Projects\Starter project' failed.

So, what now?

I suggest NOT using space in paths while compiling with any MinGW GCC compiler.
Some can use them some can not.

I suggest NOT using C:\Users\ALEX\Desktop because the Windows security and antivirus are more likely to think it is a virus attack.

I also suggest starting a new thread since this one has nothing to do with your current problem.

I have tried to locate the problem in another thread http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,19453.msg132925/topicseen.html#msg132925
Please read it and if your problem is still failed you can use that thread to ask for more help.
