My personal favorite is Microsoft QuickC which is an integrated environment 
(contrary to a previous poster's claim that TurboC was the only one).
I prefer it over Borland's TurboC because I have been unable to find a way to
use external object code libraries which is very easy to do in QuickC.

Microsoft provides you with a number to call where they have technicians answer 
any questions you might have.  They also provide bug free updates free of charge
and full updates for redused prices.
The documentation is very well written although not as well cross-referenced as 
I's like.

The graphics suppport is not bad and is built in.
