Source file not compiled Dev C++

I just installed Dev C++ and I am learning C programming. the code i used was

#include <stdio.h>    
int main()
{
  printf("Hello world");
  getch();
}

I saved it as a .c file. When I compile it works fine, but when I compile and run it says source file not compiled. So I googled buncha things and came across this video on youtube which shows you how to fix it. I also saw other forums on google which suggest the same thing... However, after doing whats asked, Now I can't even compile my code. I get this error

Compiler: Default compiler
Executing  C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\gcc.exe...
C:\Dev-Cpp\bin\gcc.exe "C:\Users\ubaid\Documents\C\Untitled1.c" -o "C:\Users\ubaid\Documents\C\Untitled1.exe"    -I"C:\Dev-Cpp\include"   -L"C:\Dev-Cpp\lib" 
gcc.exe: Internal error: Aborted (program collect2)
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.mingw.org/bugs.shtml> for instructions.

I was having this issue and fixed it by going to: C:\Dev-Cpp\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2 , then deleting collect2.exe
