Okay, I'm looking for some kind of C++ GUI library, and I can't seem to find one that works (as in one I can actually get, seeing how Qt is $1400 for 2 developers) for me. I need one that's very low cost and at least runs on Windows. Eventually I'd like to use a 3D engine (I want to try Crystal Space) but I don't know what I should look into. Any ideas?

Qt is free for non-commercial use, but that may not apply to you.
wxWindows (http://www.wxwindows.org/) is free and cross-platform.
MFC is Microsoft's option, you need Visual C++ for that.

You mentioned 3D, if this is for a game, you likey want to use SDL (http://www.libsdl.org). But if it isn't wxWindows is probably your best bet, and it will allow you to port to other systems easily whcih is a bonus.
