The problem you describe usually arises from installing Dev-C++ without a toolchain. Dev-C++ itself is not a compiler/linker, but merely an IDE. There are two packages to download, the larger of the two includes teh MinGW/GCC toolchain. You almost certainly installed the 'IDE only' package, which requires you to provide your own toolchain.
When you have done that there are further issues regarding Vista. These and the above problem as well and many other potential issues are discussed in the "PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING A QUESTION" thread, which I giess you omitted to read before you posted.
To be honest, IMO getting Dev-C++ and MinGW to work correctly on Vista is such a ball ache, I suggest that you use something more suitable.

MinGW has gotten a lot better about getting along with Vista, but of course Dev has not.
Note that the very error message that you report is dealt with in the "Please Read" thread. Please take the time to look around a forum before blurting out a question.
