For many years I have run an old GW Basic program which was written for my business without any problems. On Xp it still runs but does not display correctly. It is OK horizantally but squashed up vertically. Also flashing numbers do not work. This program works fine when opened from GW Basic or from it's own pif file.
I have tried every possible combination of settings. It did not need any special settings in the Autoexec. I have checked Autoexec. Has anyone any ideas. If not it looks like a dual boot system and run it on 98SE. Have you tried the Backwards Compatability Wizard? Johanna ,. Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.

Why not get a cheap machine and load dos in it and just use it for your program I'm able to run gwbasic on our computer which has windows Would my getting a inexpensive computer with DOS and a dot matrix printer work?
What would your suggestion be I've seen on eBay DOS 5. QB64 is a QuickBasic compatible compiler that's under development, but it already probably has all the features you'd need.
If you are willing to delve into a little bit of reprogramming and you remember some BASIC, may I suggest you take a look at freebasic,net? Instead create a file from your program, insert som html tags and a PRE tag. Insert the closing tags, close the file, then something like this:.
