You'd have to provide more details on your problem to get any reasonable
amount of help... Below is a good place to start:

It would have also helped if you actually attached the problem file. One
WAG is that notepad tends to append a ".txt" suffix to the provided
filename, and if you had an older file called "test.c", you may not
actually be compiling the file you're expecting to compile.
