Quick question, how do you open the Fortran 95 program so I can type code? It's been 4 years, so take it easy.

just code in your favorite text editor and then you compile that

If you want an IDE, try PLATO (which is free). Visual Fortran (originally a product of Digital, then it was bought by compaq, now it is owned by Intel) is probably the best IDE for Fortran, but it's not free. You can probably get Digital Visual Fortran or Compaq Visual Fortran used for very cheap. The newest version by Intel will cost you a bit though.

In the case of Fortran, 10-year-old compilers are fine, since Fortran 95 is the latest widely-accepted iteration of Fortran. An updated standard was made in 2003, but to date there isn't a single compiler that meets the Fortran 2003 standard.

I use Compaq Visual Fortran from like 7 or 8 years ago.

By the way the Intel Compiler does not include an IDE anymore, it uses Microsoft Visual Studio Pro if you have it. Actually it works well but you need both. Otherwise your compiling on the command line.

your probably just better off sticking to the command line and using a text editor with syntax highlighting
