Code::Blocks with GCC compiler compatibility with Windows 7

Is the latest binary release of Code::Blocks with MinGW setup compatible with Windows 7? If not, is there any way to fix this, or any good alternatives (via switching to a different compiler, different IDE, or both depending on the problem)?

P.S. For those who have used Code::Blocks, will switching IDE's or compiler change the file format of the source code? I know that when I tried Microsoft Visual C++ Express for a bit using the Visual C++ compiler, the file format was different in comparison to the format that Code::Blocks saved source files in.

The latest CodeBlocks release is fine, however the MinGW setup it provides alongside it is not. I would recommend downloading CodeBlocks standalone, and then getting the latest GCC build from http://www.tdragon.net/recentgcc/

You could try Qt or Eclipse instead:
