I am trying to get it to work for winXP, yet it says there it must close with either ignore or close... either one closes its attempt to open up qBasic. How do i get it to work?

Never tried QBASIC on xp. Some of Microsoft BASIC's have a timing problem above a certain speed. There are free BASIC's that may be more compatible - FREEBASIC is one that I have used.

what? If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

QBASIC 4.5 works with w2k on a PIII 933. If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

I'm currently running QBasic 1.1 (which was a required version for my course) on WinXP. below is how to install Make a folder on your drive named 'qbasic' Then go to http://www.geocities.com/Area51/5967/qbasic.html Click on the (broken) picture beside Download Qbasic 1.1, which is about halfway down the page. You will see an alert window after you click. Choose 'Save'. Once you click the 'Save' button, a window will open showing the directories and files on your PC. Navigate to the 'qbasic' directory you created above and save the file (named olddos.exe) to that location. To install the program, double click the olddos.exe file you downloaded. Note the warnings. MAKE SURE you have the olddos.exe safely in your qbasic directory (that you created) before double-clicking. The olddos.exe file will extract a number of files associated with QBasic. To run simply double-click the qbasic.exe file

I did that, but i get the SAME error message as when i tryed to install the setup on the other version. Dell Dimension 4600 Intel Pentium 4 2.6Ghz w/ HT and 800Mhz fbs. 1.5GB DUAL CHANNEL DDR SDRAM RAM 400mhz ATI Radeon 9800 PRO 128MB DDR 120GB ATA 7200HD Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 4.1 Al

It works under W98SE.
